"If I could catch the moon for you, sweetie, I would." The words of this mother tonight to my little 2 year old daughter as we looked out her bedroom window at the moon. We always have to hunt for it every night, whether we can see it or not. Lately, it's been cloudy skies or precipitation-filled skies for us. So she was so excited when I found the moon for her before we broke out in a verse of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star-one of the many songs she can sing by heart. God bless that little heart of her's. I'm in love with her. Even though the last few days after her birthday have been filled with screaming "terrible two" fits for her....I'm still in awe of my little girl. The little girl that has to put up with a brother who taunts her all day. The little girl that says "kiss it" after she gets hurt. The little girl who honks her Daddy's "honker" of a nose. The little girl who I caught singing her A, B, C's the other day. The little girl who gets to the number 10 then says 14. The little girl that tonight tore her napkin in two pieces so she could share it with her brother. The little girl who loves pink & frills & dolls & balls. The little girl who exerts her independence. The little girl who says "I don't like it" about everything it seems. The little girl who whispers little stories in my ear. The little girl who wants me to give her the moon. My little girl....always & forever. I love you, my little moon-beamed, star-struck girl.
