ladies & gentlemen, i present to you, my two year old!
[ we made it! ]
i say all the time that i love the stage she is in right now, but i think I've said that about every stage since she was born...except for teething, those times we could have done without! honestly, she just keeps getting better + life with her just keeps getting brighter and sillier. she is hilarious, dramatic & according to her, "so funny" & "so fast." (i tend to agree) - still a little possessive over her things, including, but not limited to: all baby dolls, every toy in the world, sip cups & anything lucy looks even remotely interested in at the time. however, her hitting has turned into trading, which is usually more effective and results in fewer time-outs, win! her blue eyes get bluer everytime she wakes & she fills my heart with so much joy + splendid happiness.
arrow's favorite things right now are her books, her babydoll, driving her mustang around the backyard & pink frosted animal crackers, not the white ones, she doesn't like those. she loves helping me in the kitchen + thursdays when birdie comes to play. you can often find her twirling in front of a mirror or putting her baby to sleep, which is followed by a whispered "be quiet mama, baby sleeping in crib." she wants all of her artwork hung up for the world to see & her nails must always be painted. her little puckered lips are the things of my dreams & when she says i love you mama my knees get weak.
arrow june, i pray you always remember how beautiful you are, inside & out. don't take life too seriously, never forget your worth and always speak your mind. this world is so broken baby girl, but God sends little ones like you down to remind us of all of the light that comes along with living under his umbrella of grace. you were handcrafted with such care. with strength in your bones, unadulterated love in your heart & a kind and passionate soul that will help you achieve anything you set your mind to; but when you fall and fall again, daddy & i will be there, to reach down for your hand & pick you back up. i love you so much little miss, forever + ever + ever. two years old looks so great on you. love, mama.
