There are times when I see how similar we are, and I smile or laugh in understanding and connecting with my kindred spirit.
Other times I see the similarities to her father or other family members, and I smile and laugh at those times too.
but sometimes I approach friends and family questioning: "was/is your daughter ever like this?" because I need answers.
I really do love all those times.
Because Ivy makes me smile, and laugh and shows me just how much she's a one-of-a-kind little girl.
She's Ivy.
and she's enjoying a wonderful birthweek as the celebrations continue, so am I.
Happy Easter too!
That is really touching, and she is so cute. Cool cake, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I love the cakes, both of them, and how cute are you and Ivy, so cute. I need another kid and a photo of me at two with a bunny cake and then I'm totally going to copy you. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures! Reminds me of when I had a bunny cake as a little girl. One of the many cool things about having your birthday around Easter!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this! I love that feeling when you're completely connected with your child, and I love that you have pictures to prove it! Beautiful, Toria!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I look at Tessa and see all my sisters and myself in her and am absolutely amazed. How does that happen? And when she gives me a Scott expression, I am tickled.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures and the twin cakes. How fun for Ivy to have you as her mother.
SO CUTE!
