Today is my daughter's birthday. She is 11 years old. I cannot believe that the little baby that they handed to me at the agency is the young lady that I look at today. She is very smart, funny, a voracious reader and very nurturing to the little people that come into our home through foster care. She started off calling herself, "Mommy #2" when the new baby came in January, but has since taken over and now calls me "the other mommy". LOL!
For her birthday, she slept in, has taken the day off from school, ate a cookie and grapes for breakfast and is currently playing a computer game. Such royalty!
Happy Birthday, Kid!
