Girl, You're Amazing!

She turned 3 in December, I got these pictures taken in January, and I'm sharing them with you now, in May, 5 months later. Charlotte's birthday was last week, no telling when I'll get around to sharing those pictures. She's growing up right before my eyes. Yesterday we went to a carnival, and there was a ride Cecilia was tall enough for, but it looked a little fast, and she went up there, gave her tickets to the guy by herself, sat down next to another little girl, started talking to her, made friends (she's not shy) and then when the ride started, and I thought she might freak out on the fast part, she loved it. I stood there holding Charlotte, standing next to John, and asked him, "How did she get so separate from me?"

Motherhood is one big long journey of making someone, actually making them out of nothing, someone who is totally dependent on you in every way, and teaching that someone to be independent from you. I've got the dependancy thing down pat. It's the independancy thing that somehow might be harder.

Happy Mother's Day!

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying

She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day

Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see

But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips
I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh, her laugh
She hates but I think its so sexy

She's so beautiful

And I tell her every day

Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same

So don't even bother asking
If you look okay
You know I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are
