10 Reasons I Love My Daughter

1. That face...seriously, how could you not love it?

2. The bridge of her nose between her eyes...the most kissable place in the world!

3. She is so stinkin' funny. We must be laughing dozens of times everyday at something she says. She's not even trying to be funny, and her "mad" little face when we laugh only enhances the effect.

4. She's incredibly clever. Her imagination is amazing, and her vocabulary is filled with very large words for a four-year-old.

5. She's so compassionate. When she was only 16 months old, she witnessed a nurse give me a flu shot. I thought she was going to take out the nurse. She doesn't want ANYONE hurting the people she loves.

6. She's very helpful. Our newest game is "10 Things". It's very easy to play. She has to pick up ten things. She asks if she can pick up 12 instead. She helps fold and put away laundry. She helps fill the washer and flip the wet clothes to the dryer. She hands me clothespins when we hang stuff outside. She helps put dishes away. It's not just a preschooler trying to help...it's truly helpful!

7. Who doesn't love their baby when they're fast asleep after a long day? She's so peaceful and makes the cutest little snuffling snoring noises.

8. She is a great musician. She sings in tune and has some pretty musically intuitive improvisations. She tells me several times a week that she wants to be a music teacher someday!

9. She's a good traveler. This is important in a family that loves to take road trips. She can entertain herself in the back seat.

10. She loves Jesus. With all her heart.
