today we celebrated one of my favourite people in the whole wide world. we had pink sprinkled pancakes for breakfast, and cheeseburgers for lunch AND dinner. we read books and had a dance party in the living room and a snowball fight in the backyard. we talked about the day she was born, the eight birthdays that have come before this one, and so many days in between.
i feel so lucky to be your momma and to get to watch you grow and learn every day lila claire. i love your silliness and the way your brain works and how you’re not embarrassed of me yet even though some days you probably should be. i love that on any given day you’re equally likely to be found playing with dolls, coding robots or climbing trees, with your nose tucked in a book every spare minute in between. thanks for making me a mom, for being the guinea pig child and for inspiring me every day. i love you, for like ever. happy birthday 💕
