Happy 3rd Birthday Kyla!

Tuesday, April 27, 2010

How did you get to be three years old? Seems like just yesterday that I couldn't wait until you were born, imagining what you'd look like and counting down the days. The first time I held you in my arms, it was such a miracle. You will always be my idea of perfect. Perfect, because you are uniquely "you." And how "unique" you are! You constantly inspire and amaze your dad and me. Here's a small taste of your personality from today:

"I love your buttons, mama. Those are really beautiful buttons"

"I love my brother!"

"I'm too busy right now to talk to Grandpa"

"I love cake!"

"I'm sharing with my brother, mama"

"I love that girl"

And my personal favorite:

Kyla: "I see grass out my window, mama"

Me: "Me too. What kind of animals live in the grass" (I'm thinking crickets, rabbits, etc)

Kyla: "Tapirs. Tapirs live in the grass. Diego is their friend"

Me: "True, very true"

You are one smart cookie. Every night we talk about what our favorite part of the day was. And every night, mine is always a time during the day when you and DJ and I are together. I don't just say that, it's true. No matter if the day has been a peaceful one or a challenging one, you and your brother are the best part of my day and my life (and your dad too, of course). My prayer for you each night is for health and happiness, and I wish these in abundance for you today. Happy Birthday, my sweet baby girl!
