Baby Girl..

  Reese is about to turn 4 :(.  I haven't had much time to reflect on it and then just yesterday all the thoughts came to me.  It's hard to even put together everything in the last 4 years.  I remember her as a tiny baby.  She was so serious and I worried she would never smile.  Now she laughs all the time.
Sometimes I am sad she won't have a sister to share girl stuff with.  I know she loves her brothers and they are all pretty close in age.  This year she starts preschool too.  I really need to take advantage of the time I have with her home.  Once she hits kindergarten there's no going back from her being at school fully.  Reese takes us to our wits end with fits and being a brat...but under that minor flaw we couldn't ask for a better daughter.  She's so beautiful with her red lips and dark hair.  I be sure to tell her that a lot.  She's really been like a best little friend for me the last 6 months.  She tries to help with cleaning, dallas, slater and whatever else when she wants to.  She tells me "mom  you have to smile" when maybe I have forgotten to in a day.  She's different, I would say very unique.  She likes odd movies for her age and she clings to things most wouldn't think of.  Her dad has become her world with each passing day.  If she didn't know he was coming home at the end of each day, I am not sure she would be so happy.  Out of fear I think she probably will learn her lesson later in life for loving people so much and unconditionally.  She will always be special for being Reese I know that.  This birthday I'm not doing a huge party where everything matches and all that.  Why?? Because I'm going to be hanging out with my daughter.  I want to celebrate with her and enjoy all the fun she has been looking forward to. I am putting all my love into her cake that she has been planning for.  I hope she has the best birthday ever.
