We celebrated Caroline's birthday on Tuesday with her party over the weekend. She had a ton of fun! I think it went off without a hitch as well.
At the beginning of this semester, my teacher asked me to sum up my life in 6 words. Couldn't be more or less, just 6. Here were my two 6 word phrases that I came up with:
1. Mother of three. Wife. Daughter. Athlete.
2. Lugubrious middle daughter. Payback is hell.
Caroline not only looks like me, but is me emotionally as well. I now understand why I was picked on so much growing up - it was extremely easy to get a reaction out of me. Most of the time it was tears.
Now, being a mother to a daughter who is my mini me, in more ways than one, I feel my parents' pain at having heard me cry all those years over every little thing that would upset me.
Even so, I don't know what I'd do without her. She is so incredibly sweet, usually when she isnt' feeling threatened in one way or another. OR, the more likely scenario, when she isn't being mischevious behind my back driving one, or both, of her brothers to the point of frustration. She's growing up so fast. As hard as it is some days, I really do wish I could bottle the good days up and never let them go so I can hang on to this sweetness for years to come.
I love, love, love this girl to pieces. She makes it easy to do so being a mini me afterall.
