My sweet girl is EIGHT!

It hardly seems possible that my first little princess is eight years old. Seems like only a year or two ago that I was begging God to let you take a pacifier so that I didn't have to nurse you for the full 24 hours that you seemed to be awake and hungry!!

You have grown into such a sweet and sensitive little soul. Sweet and sensitive. Yes, you are both of those things, but you're also full of fire and courage. I admire you for the selflessness you show so often. You're an awfully little girl to make such grown up decisions. It's so rarely "all about you." Even your birthday cake was chosen with your big brother in mind. You wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, but remembered that Killian hates chocolate cake, so you changed your request to accomodate him. THAT is impressive!

I hope that you have a very special day today. You deserve that and so much more. I love you, Princess Zoo!

Happy Birthday Miss Z!!! When your mom says all of those nice things she isn't just saying them because she's your mom. She's saying them because they're true.
