Wuhoo – Miss O is two!!

A few weeks ago, Miss O and I were talking about her birthday and she asked me, “Mama, are you two?” I answered that I was not but I’m changing my answer. Because there is a huge part of my heart that was born two years ago and blossoms in the light of Miss O’s sunshine. And then there is the other part of me that wants to be two because witnessing another human who is constantly learning and changing is so powerfully inspiring. Every day Miss O faces a world where she has not yet mastered anything – communicating, using a spoon, walking, understanding emotions — with a smile on her face, a bright light in her eyes and a budding sense of humor. She reminds me over and over again that it is who we are that matters and not what we know.

Has it all been a bed of roses? Pretty much –thanks to the village that has gotten us here! So here’s to being two, darling girl! We’ll grow up together because together, we can do ANYTHING!
