Pretty Piggies

I have to take a moment to reflect on how grateful I am to have a daughter. Today we painted her toenails for the first time. Fire engine red with glitter! The girl was a pro! She sat right down in her little rocker and held perfectly still while I painted each little piggy. She even let me dry them. She was soooo excited and kept saying "pretty pretty pretty piggies! pretty see pretty piggies mama? pretty" She looked at those piggies for the rest of the day-walking around almost prancing and stopping every so often to examine them again. She even showed her daddy first thing when he got home (she couldn't quite figure out how to lift her feet off the ground, but she sure tried. I am enjoying all of her girliness so much more than I ever thought I would, and I am so thankful to Heavenly Father that He sent me a daughter against my insistance that I wanted a SON--now I can't imagine life without my little girl. She was exactly what our family needed.
Kate Alivia - you are a gift and a joy...a real blessing to my life. I love you my little princess!
