I know I’ve blogged about it before…how I was devastated when I found out I was having a girl. What if she didn’t like hunting and fishing and camping and dirt? What if all she wanted to do was polish her nails and try on shoes and braid hair and wear pink and play house? What would I do? I was so worried I wouldn’t connect with her. I cried many ugly tears over it.
Andy always like to point out when I’m wrong, but this time I’m beating him to it. You guys? Rylee is the perfect mix of tom-boy and girlie-girl. I feel so awful the I ever had those feelings. I was so wrong to be so worried.
And as she gets older, it gets so much more apparent just how wrong I was.
Case in Point: Last Weekend
Post Summary: My kid rocks, I love her to pieces and I can’t imagine my life without my little girl.
aw, too sweet. it's funny – i never wanted a girl either (i got a boy and was so relieved!) But now I TOTALLY daydream about having a daughter!!! I am starting to think I won't feel complete unless I have one… which is scary … and funny … and completely insane because it is SO out of my control!
She is pretty amazing! Kinda like her mama!
Haha, SO true…I used to joke and say, "God will give me a boy, because God loves me and knows I couldn't handle a girl". He knew just what I needed.
Now as we think about #2, I can honestly say that I will be happy with whatever we are blessed with.
Aww….shucks. :) Love you. xoxo
And now you know what it feels like to be complete and how your mom feels. Children are the best part of you. There is nothing you wouldn't do to protect them. You and Andy are raising an amazing young lady and I am so very proud to say I am her Mammy.
Aww!
I haven't made it over to your blog in a long time! She sure is growing up. Doesn't she turn 3 this spring? Wow! Glad she likes the outdoors! Fun stuff.
Hey Gaby! Gosh, I know, she is getting so big…and it seems like this is the week everyone is reminding me of that! lol. I can't believe she's going to be 3 in May.
