LADybUG....

when i asked your daddy
what phrase he thought best described you,
he instantly replied,
'sweet firecracker.'
i couldn't agree more.
i should have known you would have
such a zest for life
when you came on the scene so unexpectedly.
you operate with the 'ta-da!' mentality
and work with a fast and furious pace to keep up
with your brother. you WILL NOT BE LEFT OUT!!
you are so illuminated with happiness
and excitement that you look like a glo-worm,
just bursting with light.
you love to be around others, other kids, babies, to the point you have made other little ones a little guarded (freaked out)
from your exuberence.
however, you *usually* win them over with your lovely, loving self.
and, boy, can you dance, mama. if a good tune comes on, the rythym is going to get you, and i love all of the moves in your arsenal.
sweet e, your enthusiasm is greatly balanced with your cuddly, loving nature, and although you are a go, go, go kind of kid, you also equally go with the flow. it is very rare you are anything but joyful and good-natured.
i can't believe i am lucky enough to have you call me mama, i marvel at you every day and what an example you are of God's grace in my life. i cannot wait to see you, our little spitfire, grow, and to see what Christ has in store for you.
