Reasons

Because she has brought such a sweet taste to life.
Because I now have a date to baby and bridal showers.
Because every time I see her or hold her, a sense of fulfillment rushes through me.
Because who she is will develop into an amazing woman, and that I know.
Because God destined her to be.

A Day in the Life

One of these days, rather than nearly hyperventilating or reminding myself to gain control of my emotions (boy, things have changed over here, it used to be Kid who was learning to gain control), I'll remember to grab my camera when say, Bee, chooses to whisk toilet paper in the toilet, paint his sister with applesauce, wash his hair with bubble solution, or help himself to some milk on the top shelf of the refrigerator (and all of these adventures have been known to happen in the same day)...

Then, maybe, moments such as these will have slight comedic value and a little bit less potential for a panic attack.

This is nothing...the carpet saw the worst of it.
It's just a day in the life of The Bee.
