A beautiful citrine gem

    Six years ago today I was in the hospital. I was sore, and tired. More than tired I was exhausted. I was in labor until 1:17am. I remembered it snowed for only about an hour, I could see it through the window. It stopped when she was born. My baby girl was so beautiful. To my surprise as well, she had red copper hair. I was so happy to finally hold my little blessing. It was so wonderful.
   Since then it has been amazing watching her grow. I have to admit she has been one of my more stubborn children, I suppose it's a good thing though, knowing she holds strong to what she thinks, knows, and believes.
   Today just like every weekday, one hour before we're even supposed to leave for school she starts nagging and asking.
   "Mom are you ready?"
   "Mom, did you forget I have school today?"
   "Is it time?"
For a whole hour before we leave she constantly asks, me these questions.Always pumped up with energy when we do leave.
  She was so excited today to take her cupcakes, to share with her classmates. I'm so glad I haven't had to fight with her about going to school yet.
As she stood there in line to go into school, I watched her and thought about the last six years. She's grown up so much. It never is fair how fast they grow up.
   I watched her from my place with the parents. I remember when she started kindergarten almost three months ago. She was so happy to start. It was hard for me to realize she's growing up. I admit I did cry a little, proud but very sad.
  She's such a happy little girl, so full of energy and life. The energy she got from her father. She is shy at first, she got that from me, but she is so friendly.

So my dear baby girl

Happy Birthday I Love You!
