Last night I sat down and wrote an entire post telling the story of Grace's birth. It seemed the natural thing to do, since today is her birthday. However, as I went to publish the post, something got effed up with my internet wireless connection, and it didn't publish. It's still on here, and I could publish it, but I decided I didn't want to. For some reason, I am just not in the mood to share it anymore.
Grace keeps reminding me that she is five now.
She says, "Wanna see how tall I am?"
"See how long my arms are now?"
"Look at my pinky finger!"
Like she has grown overnight into a big girl.
She is still pretty damn tiny. I don't realize it until I see how most other five-year-olds don't sit in the baby section of the shopping carts anymore.
This has, without question, been the most amazing, spectacular, crazy, wonderful, five years of my life. Not only because I get to be Grace's mom, but everything.
I hope it just keeps getting better and better.
I asked her what she wants for supper tonight, since the birthday kid always gets to pick. She answered, "Broccoli."
What more could a mom ask for?
She is the most beautiful girl in the world, and to me, she always will be.
