The Best Thing

She is always enthusiastic and cheerful and excited.

She loves that she's a big girl, but she still needs cuddles from her mommy.

Sometimes she can be a drama queen. She makes it seem like a good thing, though.

Yesterday she told me that she hopes the baby is a boy. She tells me that she is going to be the best big sister ever.

I think back to her first Christmas, when that morning I had held her in my arms and told whispered in her ear, Did I ever tell you that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me?

It's still true.
