Tomorrow, my youngest, baby turns double digits

Clair is very good and anticipating the fine things in life such as birthdays. She has been enjoying the anticipation of the day. She doesn’t even have any special big wishes for the day. She asked for a few specific food items and she gave me a few ideas about things she might want over the past couple months. But really, she just wants to have a fun day with her family. 

Tonight I was asking her if she would rather watch church online or go in person. She wouldn’t tell me what she wanted. She told me what she wanted to do to make the most people happy in our family. We are staying home and watching church online so that Ellie can get as much sleep as possible because for her birthday she just wants her family to all. Have a good day. I’m not sure if I should be proud of her or sad for the state of our family because that’s all she wants for her birthday. She sounds like a mom on Mother’s Day. 

This girl is something else. She brings me so much joy each day of my life. She knows how to just enjoy being with somebody she cares about. I am lucky enough to probably be her favorite person to spend time with Still. I know that as each day passes that is becoming less likely. I am so grateful for the time we have and the love that she has. That girl loves to snuggle and she just really loves to enjoy spending special time with people. She is thoughtful. She is smart. She is kind. She has a heart for God. She still wants to be a pediatrician when she grows up. She’s sweet to animals and other living things. She has a very busy mind and sometimes she gets caught in her mind instead of the hearing now, she hates to make other people upset. She loves to be helpful.  I am so lucky to be her mom!

After granddaddy’s party, I came home and while she got her shower I wrapped all the presents and David put up the decorations. I hope she’s happy when she sees her birthday tree in the morning.
