This a two-fer… a 5-minute Friday link-up and one of my 31 days of letters, all mixed into one. :o)
Talk about multi-tasking!
The 5mF thing is just plain fun. 5 minutes of uninterrupted, uncensored writing. Raw. From the heart.
Good stuff. Check it out!
Tonight’s theme is: Look…
And GO!

Baby Girl,
When I look at you, I see so much more than a tiny little baby. So much more than a bundle of snuggly nothingness in my arms.
I see a bright, bubbly toddler. I see a feisty, passionate preschooler. I see a funny, flirtatious little girl. I see a moody, melancholy teenager. I see a strong, confident young woman. I see a struggling, loving mom.
I see your life flash before my eyes. I see my friend, as she grows, and I can hardly stand the anticipation of growing through all of this with you.
And then I look down into my arms again. I see the sweet, smiling face of my dreaming baby. I see your soft, round, kissable cheeks… your perfect tiny eyelashes… your beautiful bald baby head.
I draw in a deep, soul-filling breath of your intoxicating baby smell… and I hope you stay this way forever.
I can’t wait to watch you grow up. And I don’t want you to change.
Because every time I look at you, something new is in front of me!
Slow down, sweet girl. I love you!
- Mommy
