A Reminder To Myself

There is a little girl, with your face and hands, and wide blue eyes.
Innocent, sweet, but also clever and observant.
She watches you.
She sees you.
She does what you do and says what you say.
She loves you and needs you and wants to be near you.

Enjoy her.
Love her.
Adore her.
Make her feel safe and secure.
Give her the limits she needs but the space to explore the world around her.
Encourage her creativity.
Teach her how to work for what she wants.
Help her to find out who she is and who she can become.
Be a good example; from you she'll learn honestly, compassion, courage and kindness.

She's almost two, but the time is moving fast.
Embrace every moment, every hour, every day.
She's tiny now, but even this small.....

She's learning to walk in heels.
