"Today's a day like any other
But I am changed, I am a mother
Oh in an instant
And who I was has disappeared
It doesn't matter, now you're here
So innocent
I was lost for you to find
And now I'm yours and you are mine"
Your birthday is still so fresh in my mind and so fresh in my heart. Meeting you and holding you for the first time was the absolute best day of my life. It's funny, because I didn't cry the day you were born, I didn't even begin to know how much love was pulsing through me until after. Now, I cry almost every time I even think of your birthday. You are my most precious gifts in all of the world and I love you so much it hurts.
Celebrating your lives today is a reminder to all of the people who love you how our lives changed when you came into this world. We sure have laughed a whole lot more, loved a lot harder, and add in a pinch of paranoia (on my end) and you've got the magic that you've made in our lives.
Today you are 3 years old. You are full of fun, imagination, and curiosity. We love watching you grow and learn, and are constantly amazed by you. You are not perfect and struggle right now with remembering to use kind hands, and listen to directions the first time but, you are learning. You are both little mothers and love to pretend with your baby dolls. If Ella could transform into anything in the world it would for sure be a Disney princess right now.
