My little girl

I can't believe its been five years since my daughter was born.  She kills me with laughter with everything she says.  Her vocabulary isn't normal and I love this.  She is never tired but "exhaustigated".  When I work in the garden, she reminds me, "Daddy... you are a dirty boy."  Not a night goes by that she doesn't want a story read to her in bed.  There is never enough kisses or hugs that I could give her as she wants them all, especially "whisker kisses" from my unshaven face.

I have three kids and love them all equally, yet "daddy's girl" is truly something different.  My sons are just like me and I see them growing up strong.  They love the outdoors, their games, and time together as family just like their dad.  When the "princess" walks in, the room changes as princesses can only change them.  Daddy has to do her hair.  Daddy needs to tie her shoes.  My mother was so happy that she had all boys but she can only live vicariously through me with my daughter.  How she envies me.

Happy Birthday Sweetheart.  I know the dresses and Barbies are just what you want.
