Six Years Ago...

Wow.  I can't believe it has been six years since an adorable little baby girl entered my life and made me a mother.  At the time I was amazed yet terrified....I couldn't believe I was entrusted with the care of another human being!  And what a human being she is.  

Aurora, as her name says, is definitely a big shining light in my life.  She is amazing.  She is smart, witty, responsible, considerate, beautiful, and caring.  She started reading this year and once she picked it up, she went from barely reading to reading at a first grade level in no time.  Kindergarten math is a breeze for her.  She's already lost four baby teeth!  And unfortunately she also has my OCD!

She can already outwit me in conversations.  Sometimes the things she says and understands are unbelievable for someone so young.  She's even mastered the little teenager head bob and "I told you so" tone.  She challenges me to think about how I parent and the decisions I make.  She's a leader.  Who knew you could love someone so much??

Happy Birthday Aurora!
