FIVE.



We celebrated Clara's 5th birthday on Feb. 10. WOW, 5 is thee cornerstone to growing up. Each day I see how much more independent she's becoming, so much more involved in what I'm doing, so much more interested in having deep conversations and I hear in her voice how the world is making more sense, how the frame of her foundation is taking shape and her little life is being built up and outward from mine. Amazing, scary, a bit sad, a lot happy and a giant reminder that I need to pay close attention, she will be all grown up way too quickly.

Happy Birthday my dear, sweet, curious, beautiful, funny, inspiring, kind hearted, determined, sensitive, strong, brilliant, talkative, chubby cheeked, dimple faced, imaginative, lovely, creative, awe inducing child. I love you with all my heart. And then some.
