…just a few nicknames for the girl we love. Tomorrow is your birthday little one. I was preparing to write a super emo entry but I have to be honest. It hasn’t come to me yet. It’s sort of like when I went to spend my junior year abroad in London and everyone older that I knew took me aside and said, “When you return…you will be a changed…woman”.

I waited. And waited. And…waited. I didn’t feel changed there or even when I came back really. Mostly because at the time I was really living in the moment. I have to say – the same ring trues tonight as your mother.

We had another good day together but boy are you a handful! You want to GO GO GO and you FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT sleep. You hate sleep. Scream and yell and twist and turn and throw things out of your crib and backbend, etc. I wish you were like me. Someone who LOVES SLEEP. I love my bed and my cozy comforter. I love sprawling out and relaxing. Maybe one day I can turn you over to the dark side although judging by your father’s night owl tendencies this might not happen.

Stay tuned for the emo blog post but for now little one – my cute little darling – I love you. Sweet dreams. Embrace your sleep. See you tomorrow when you are our little toddler. We love you.
