Oh what a girl I have! A couple of weeks ago, we celebrated Katie’s 4th birthday. She is one of a kind! Her voice is naturally loud and high pitched so she slips into whining very easily. She’s working on it though and doing a good job trying to corral all those emotions that come stampeding out of her. When she starts to break down and cry over something we try to encourage her to breathe. I know it sounds silly but it works – a few deep breaths and she’s a little less hysterical and you can better make out what happened in the first place. She is full of joy and her love language is time and attention. Unfortunately, that is in short demand when you have 1 big brother and 2 little brothers to share mommy and daddy’s time. She can be very silly but she’s also sensitive and caring. I’m proud of her. She’s beautiful to me and I thank God that I get to be her mommy. I pray that she and I will stay close through the years. It’s funny because I seldom have thoughts of my boys as parents but I often think of how I will feel when my little girl becomes a mommy and I get to hold her children in my arms. There is something unique and wonderful about a mother/daughter relationship.
