Thank you

For your pudgy legs
How you hate it when I comb your hair
For always standing up in your chair
For tossing the things you don't like to eat onto the floor
How you bust a gut at your brother's antics
For beaming with joy when around other kids
For the pathetic yet hilarious way you say "yea..."
For the hugs you circle around my neck
For how you demand baa baa each night, over and over
For how you love to put your own boots on, usually on the wrong feet
And how you follow the cat around

Thank you for all the ways you are you
For all the ways you are so bright
And all the ways you light up my world

My little girl
My smart, strong, wise girl
My funny girl
My roll with flow girl
My jumping off the coffee table girl
My rolling down the slide girl
My girl with evermore words
And an ever widening picture of the world

I love you and thank you a million times over
For these two years with you
