Tenley will be THREE years old at 2:09am.
I still have this image in my mind,
she is six months old,
in the rocker with me in her pink and yellow nursery at our townhouse,
her pillowy fat cheek snuggled and sleeping on my left shoulder.
I remember thinking that I couldn't possibly imagine this cherub as a young girl and not a babe in arms,
but still I knew that the next time I blinked my eyes... she likely would be.
I knew what was to come,
so I froze that moment in my mind.
No matter how old you get,
my silly pickle,
you will always be my chubby, butterball, baby girl.
I love you, Princess.
Thank you for showing me how to be a mother.
...aka .Mommy.
