Shine on Froggy Sparkles!

Another day in November, another birthday in our house.
This time it's our very own Little Miss Sunshine.
She hums around the house often in her own little universe.
Before she was born, our oldest wanted to name her Froggy Sparkles.
Little did we know that his name idea would capture her essence.
Quirky. Free-spirited. Happy. Sparkly.
It just fits...
See what I mean.

I love having a daughter.
She views shopping as sport, as do I.
She loves playing barbies and babies and wedding.
(She and her best friend are actually
"walking down the aisle"as I write this.)
She wants to work at Payless shoes when she grows up.
We get each other.
More than loving having a daughter,
I love having her as my daughter.
She has her own funky sense of style.
She has a knack for details that I long for.
She used to remind me that I said I was going to discipline her later.
She wised up on that one.
She is expressive and emotive and creative.
We decided to enroll her in a musical theater class to
put all that drama to good use.
Now I say to her, "Save it for drama class!"
and it's not just another mommy saying. It's for real!

Our Divine Miss Em:
she's our sweet and sassy girl!
For years she's asked for a sister.

Happy birthday girl, you're gonna get your wish at last!
