Christmas is really a beautiful thing. I just wanted to write down a few of my beautiful memories.
~For about the first 5 mornings after we put the tree up, Aria came down stairs... immediately went to turn the lights on the Christmas tree and said 'Oh, it's so beautiful!'
~WE've fixed at least 3 ornaments multiple times with hot glue.
~She loves to play pretend with the talking mice I made this year.
~Will not stop talking about getting a band-aid at Christmas
~She went to a birthday party last Saturday and got a little thing of lip gloss... and proceeded to use the whole thing in about an hour. She was so sad when it was gone. She told us to take it from her so she could save the rest for tomorrow. (At least she knows her limitations) We told her that maybe she could ask Santa Claus for some. So now if you ask her what she wants for Christmas, she says 'lip stuff'.
~Loves identifying Santa Claus wherever he might be.... on the Street, ringing a bell.
~Loves singing Jingle Bells and Silent Night.
~She is just beginning to show thoughtfulness and concern for others. I'm hoping this will make Christmas day a more enjoyable experience for us all.
~Often says in response to 'When are you going to have your baby brother?' 'After Christmas...'
Most of all I can't believe how much she's changed in the last year. She's still got the same personality, but now she's more my friend and daughter instead of my baby. At times I feel like I could never love another child as much as I love her.
