Things She Doesn't Yet Know

She goes about her day dancing to music in her head. She loves to make us laugh and smile. She dreams of princesses and fairies and weddings! Her vivid imagination creates a play land of friends and dolls from inanimate objects such as crayons or bits of string. Her heart feels genuine care for her little sister as she takes great care to make her happy.

She becomes engulfed in movies or television programs and then just as quickly turns away and finds something new to imagine. Her world is quite small and protected now.

She doesn't realize that her mother loves her more than life itself. That her mother's heart will forever be changed simply because she was born. Her four year old mind can't comprehend that there is someone who watches almost everything she does in complete fascination. Whose heart aches with fear at the thought of her starting kindergarten. With just the thought of entrusting her care to a practical stranger. She doesn't yet know that her mother loves to watch her peaceful still form in sleep, sweetly curled up in a fuzzy Hannah Montana blanket.


Our Little d. We love her so much.
