September 1

Fast asleep for the last time as a 2-year-old. Oh, how I love this big little girl! She doesn't often fall asleep while I'm snuggling with her but tonight she was exhausted and I had the rare pleasure of watching her drift off as I used to do all the time when she was an infant. Her eyes slowly flutter closed, her perfect little mouth twitches and smiles flit across her face like butterflies. We have had a hard, wonderful, challenging, terrific year. Sweet dreams, baby girl!
