Trying to pull myself together while I re-read what I titled this post. When people tell me to "soak these days up" or "careful they grow up fast" or "watch out they will be out of the house soon" I REALLY listen and look at both kids while one jabbers about princess' and the other asking questions like "what is skin made of"... I am sure you can guess which one that is. We go through every struggle, every triumph and in this case every BIRTHday as if there is a test at the end of the day on what they did, how they reacted and what they said, and I NEED to ace it. In other words I CRAM whatever I can in and hope that it sticks with me forever.
But no matter how many times I look at them and WISH so deeply that I can remember each day, each new facial expression, I can't....(gulp). So now that our little girl is turning 3, I can't help but hold her close, study her face and pray that she slows it down a notch so that we can breath her in.
Kapri Kathleen Tiggas... You turn 3 today!
You are our sunshine!
Your brother is your best friend, and if you could be anyone in the world I am sure it would be him.
Your second choice would be a princess.
You are a bit sassy and stubborn, I hope you never lose that, it just might come in handy later.
Your favorite color is purple, no pink...wait, it's Tuesday so it's purple.
Every night when we put you to sleep you ask me where God lives, and then immediately you answer with "God lives in our heart".
If I could count how many times you twirl in one day I am pretty sure you would break the twirling record.
When Papa is in the room no one else exists.
Your favorite game is whatever game Micah is playing and Ninja's with Daddy and Micah...you seem to kick their butt more often than not. (Daddy would like it if you could go easy on the kicking)
Most of all...
You make our world brighter with your presence.
We love you little girl.
We celebrated you with a Luau!
