It's been six years since my oldest child was born. Well, give or take a couple of days. Today we celebrated it.
I am so proud of the little girl she's become, and can't wait to meet the grown woman she will one day be. Evelyn remains positive in the face of so much negativity - whether it may be kids at school, negative circumstances in her parents' lives, or even when she's just having a bad day - the kid just stays positive and as happy as she can.
She did not inherit that from me. I don't know how she became that way, but I'm so glad she is. I admire people like that, and I'm very happy that she's growing into one of those people.
Happy birthday, Evie. You're growing up to be even more awesome and amazing than I ever thought possible.
