Lovely are the year of pitter patter on the floor...

My daughter - and my husband's ; ) - is now 2 and then some....and I just marvel at how lovely she has turned out (I'm very modest I know ; ). She is this darling little person with the most contagious smile and I keep thinking -like most parents probably do - how can we ever have another little being that is as perfect as this one. I keep thinking that she will always have a special place in my heart as she is my first born, but I know from friends and siblings that it's possible. The heart - amazingly - have plenty of space to love lots and large. And I do feel assured that there will be plenty of love left for a little brother or sister, if we are lucky to be able to have another beautiful baby some day. These are lovely days and the years to come will probably be equally great and I'm sure we will be graced with pitter patter on the floor in many years to come. There is something so special about these early years where they are so unspoiled and unaware of the world. I found this lovely quote that I just had to share...

"There is a garden in every childhood, an enchanted place where colors are brighter, the air softer and the morning more fragrant than ever again"

Oh how one wishes that they could just stay small...well except when mummy wants to go out for dinner with her husband or when I've had enough of the pulling of my clothes by a screaming 2-year old or when it would be nice to just sit down and have a cup of coffee for say 15 minutes and read the magazine that I just got in the mail : ) Ah like I said, these are lovely years! ; )
