Fellow moms out there--you'll totally get me on this.
I am so in love with our daughter...One of the things I love the most about her is the fact that she is just Kate. Completely uninhibited...at this age they don't know if what they're doing or saying is cute or funny or dorky. They don't care so they are themselves in the most raw way. I love that she is not self-conscious, and she loves when people watch her dance. I love that she freely laughs and smiles, and gives kisses when one needs them most. I love that when she finds joy in something, it's not contained--there are shrieks and shrills. I even love the displays of anger--raw emotion uncontained and unedited. I love the excitement over the smallest things--pumpkins, being outside, or shiny Christmas ornaments. I love the non-existence of embarrassment.
I pray everyday that no one would ever say anything to her that might influence and destroy this sweet rawness that is my daughter. It might not be realistic but it's what I wish for her sweet life.

So well said sister. Amen and amen!
So true and I completely agree.
It was good to see you at Christmas time at Central. I hope all is well and if you ever need to talk please feel free to call me, my heart goes out to you(i've been there.
