this kid


The spirit of this child rocks me to the core.
These eyes.
Get me every time.
And keep her out of a lot of trouble.
How can one person be so little and yet... so big?
Her imagnination is never ending.
She lives in a land of princesses,
pink ponies.
girls named Ashley,
and is the daughter of a superhero in a pink cape.
She's rough and tumble and yet... so fragile.
She is thoughtful and caring and yet... so stubborn!
She loves with every ounce of her little heart.
She loves big.
smiles big,
hugs big.
She is all about the fun in life, always too busy for work,
or chores,
or a bath.
But not for shoes,
or Webkinz,
or sleeping curlers.
But given the opportunity...
she'll drop everything in a heartbeat to crawl up in your lap...
and snuggle.
It's those snuggles...
and those eyes...
that keep her out of a heap of trouble!
