Day 10: 30 days for 30 years

Here we are in the double digits already! I'm not even close to running out of things/people to be thankful for.

Today I am thankful for children, but especially my child. Kids are truly such a gift from God. They bring a joy and innocence that can bring clarity in life. It is a miracle to watch them experience things for the first time, and therefore find a newness in those things ourselves.

I have had several children impact me as an adult, but none like my own child.

Sybil Elise, you are one of a kind. You are so goofy like your father. You're incredibly smart for your age. Your stubborn heart is incredibly hard to deal with, but one day I believe it will help you conquer your biggest dreams. You make me laugh, you make me cry (both good and bad tears), and you make me a better person.

I am so thankful God has allowed me to have such a wonderful child, even with all her idiosyncrasies. Much love to the one who will only hold my right hand, only go potty backwards, prefers to eat food from only my plate, and wants to do everything herself! I'm thankful for my 28th and 29th year of life with you. I can't wait for many more.
