My Gentle Soul....

I just want to say what a blessing it is to have such a sweet daughter. As J says, she is truly a gentle soul. One of the earlier words she learned was "jop-oh" (aka "gentle"). She'll say it while softly stroking whatever happens to be nearby, whether the cat or herself, even J or me. I love it when I'm holding her in my arms, and she starts stroking me. She looks up into my eyes so innocently and says, "jop-oh", then lies her head on my chest in her snuggle position. Does it get any better than that?

Other than being a gentle soul, Zee is very much a social girl. Even when she was a little bitty baby, about six months or so, she would get so excited to see another child. Now that she's older, every time she sees another child, she yells out, "Bay-beeeee!" Over and over. And over. And if any stranger wants to hold her, she eagerly holds out her arms to be taken away. Even though it stings just a little, I'm so thankful that Zee is comfortable around others. And she's just such a charmer that people can't help but be charmed by her. I'm so charmed by her....
