Eight

Eight things I love about you, on your eighth birthday


1. That you have been completely obsessed with horses since you were one and a half
2. That you still like to rub my belly, even though your sister isn't in there anymore
3. How you call your daddy "Lil' Doe"
4. That you invented a whole new Mama language
5. Your new dance
6. That you write spelling-word sentences like this one: "My neighbor is as grumpy as a bull who planted his horns in the ground."
7. That you find ticks on your sister and pets
8. That you defend me from Dada's tickling

Happy birthday to the sweetest, horsey-est, goofy-est, smartest girl I know. I'm lucky to be your Mama.
