This weekend on January 24th, my "WHY" turned 3. Since I was young I always wanted a daughter. I was close with my mom (so close she now lives with us) and I wanted that relationship so badly. Finding out the little heartbeat inside of me was wrapped in pink ribbons and pearls after two boys was one of the happiest moments of my life. I love my sons SO much but I wanted to experience a daughter too! Then she also killed me in labor, and I swear some days she's got that as a goal with her personality and temper. The red hair is a sign of the fire that resides in her body.
But...
where others may see an attitude, I see strong willed.
where others see a temper tantrum, I see big emotions and a leader being formed, wanting to make choices.
where others see a challenge, I see a change maker.
Nora is unique. She's intelligent beyond her years. She's passionate and detail oriented (she will organize legos by color for hours and LOVES things with tiny pieces). She's polite, but knows what she wants. And while the world may try to tame her flames because they don't understand her, I will nurture them. Because I was a misunderstood girl and because I understand her. The world doesn't need more girls who follow, it needs more girls not afraid to take charge.
So this weekend we celebrated her becoming a threenager, and in true Nora fashion, she cried at the sounds of us singing to her. It was "too loud" because Lord knows, the loudest thing in the room has to be her. 😂🤣
Happy 3rd Birthday my peachy girl. We love you so. ✨🎀🍑
