My daughter was born four years ago today, minus a few hours until dawn... so I've been thinking a lot about the number 4, fourths, travelling around the sun four times...
Watching your confidence grow, your strength solidify, your self blossom brings me the most intense joy I have ever experienced. Born at the crack of dawn, you have brought so much magic and light into our lives. For that I feel truly truly fortunate.
This week, she announced that she wanted to do a needle felted project. On her own. She knew they were sharp needles, she'd be careful. So could I get out some felt and she'd pick her wool roving colors, please? Now?
So she did.
And then there needed to be a baby.
And it was such a time of firsts. And fourth.
And such love.
(by the way, this was one of the most interesting foodie posts I've read yet - food topography)
Nice, you will both treasure these for years to come!
ReplyDeleteI just got off the phone with my 28 year old twins who were born on this day as well. Time certainly flies.
ReplyDeleteLove the baby faces. Four year olds are wonderful.
Happy Birthday beautiful girl! :0)
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome felted faces! Great job!
Hope you have a wonderful day together!
