Three years ago you came into the world, silent, eyes wide.
It didn’t take long for you to find your voice. And that you did.
You are your Mama’s eyes. Your Daddy’s nose.
The beauty of your smile is all your own.
The daintiness of your body is offset by your strength of spirit.
You are pink bows, tiaras, and ballerina toes.
You are also mud puddles, messy hair, and monkey jumps.
A crazy mix of sweet, sensitive, stubborn, and sass.
You can be fiercely independent or decidedly clingy.
Pink cupcakes, pink ice-cream, pink shoes…your innate love for pink.
You are uncontrollable giggles or a storm of tears.
You want to fly like a butterfly or stomp like a dinosaur.
You are a beautiful swirl of complexity.
Witnessing your story unfold is a delicious privilege.
The beauty of a girl…my girl.
beautiful post! little girls are a special and wonderful thing…..my favorite image of my oldest daughter is her dressed up in her princess dress, wearing black rubber mudboots and playing in the dirt pile with a tractor. that pretty much sums her up right there!

What a beautiful tribute to your little girl. Isn't it fun watching her turn into her own special person? It sounds like she has one great personality, Dr. Mom, and lots of confidence. Keep up the great work

This is so beautiful! Since I have a little girl I can relate to so much of it.
I second a previous commenters suggestion to frame it, picture and all.

Beautiful! I love how girls are simply girls. We analzye it to death as students, but when it comes down to it most little girls are simply little girls who love to twirl and to wear things that are pink and purple.

I have to say that song (although creepy) has it right “thank heaven for little girls”! Hope yours had a great day!
So precious. So sweet. I've always wanted boys (I have no kids yet), but I'm reconsidering. Not that I have too much control over that
By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog.

Sigh. So beautiful. And so true about our little baby girls, isn't it? Total contradictions.

Oh, I love this, Melissa! And, truly, whether they are 3 or 13 (like my girl), they are still a mixture of all the things you so beautifully penned!
Thanks for your sweet, encouraging comment on my blog this week … I am getting back on track and know setting some new boundaries is the right thing to do for me and my family. ;0)

Your girl sounds a lot like my girl…I love the contrasts between the girlie girl and the fun, feisty girl! And I love the differences between her and my son.
Beautiful post! Now I'm off to tuck her in, with an extra kiss due to you.
