Lyla's 2nd Birthday

Every good and perfect gift is from above
James 1:17

I recently read a post on facebook that said, "My little girl is...."  My mind automatically finished the sentence with: getting so big, sleeping in a big girl bed now, working on going on the potty.  Then I finished reading the post and it said, "My little girl is moving into her own apartment."  After reading it I nearly cried and thought, "NO I'm not ready for that."  Then I reminded myself that my little girl has just turned two.  There is no need to borrow tomorrows worries.  Instead I am relishing the moments when she is so proud of her self for flipping or tells herself good job for peeing in the toilet.  I often thank God for my precious little girl, but on her birthday I am especially reminded of the special gift he gave us.  I pray that I am the mother that she needs and that I teach her to live a God honoring life.  I'm sure it will be no time before I am helping her move into her own apartment and I want to take advantage of every moment until then!

Lyla picked Bob the Builder pasta from Tesco. We made it for lunch on her birthday.  She hugged the bag of pasta and said, " I wuv Bob the Builder."
