Today marks the day our Little Girl turned two. Two years ago we welcomed our precious little girl Linley Claire Cole into our lives. Who knew you would have all of us wrapped around your finger?
Linley Claire, you seriously crack me up. The fact that you have the wildest blonde hair, unruly just like mine, is hilarious in itself. We have a constant fight with it, and I can foresee how we will be fighting with it in the future-sorry but you have my hair.
Your temperament is unique. You are dramatic and high strung and so sweet at the same time. In one breath you will scream at the top of your lungs, push your brother, and then say "Sorry!" in one the sweetest voices I've ever heard. Alot of this has to do with that you have to fend for yourself with two big brothers. They have taught you a few bad habits that I am having to pray to break you from, not to mention still working on them. You will probably be one of the toughest kids on the block for sure. But, they have also taught you kindness, hugs, kisses, been your dance partners while being Cinderella, and shown you how to just do life. You are always exciting, never dull, and fun.
You are a perfectionist, which I don't see how. You put items back in their place without me ever telling you to. I love the fact that you are my helper all the time. If I'm cooking, you are there, cleaning, you are there, laundry, you are there. I think by age 5 you may be able to cook the whole family dinner including cupcakes, which are your favorite.
You love your pacifiers, which we are going to have issues breaking I can already tell.
You are so smart, sometimes too smart for you own good.
You are a girly girl. You have an opinion on your clothes, bows, shoes, jackets. You get so excited with a big "O" on your mouth and you cover it with your hands even when you get a new bow to wear. You love doing your nails-which is so much fun for me. You sit absolutely still in my lap while we paint, sometimes multiple layers of different colors, on your nails. Then you run to your daddy and brothers and wait for them to gawk over you, which they always do.
You are a people person. You will talk to just about anyone, you bless them with the attention from a little child which lights up people's faces and hearts.
You shine show much love in our hearts. We are so thankful for you and God blessing us with two years with you already. I'm going to cry thinking about you growing up, but I cannot wait to see the woman God will mold you to be. We love you Linley Claire!!
