I am grateful for Ivy.
She turned two years old yesterday.
Hummingbirds carried this past year.
Zoom.
And the year before seems like a sweet dream.
Ivy has shown me the deepest love. To expect and to give.
She has knocked me down a peg or two or three.
She has raised my expectations of myself.
She has been a mirror.
She taught me the strength of my body.
She brought our family closer.
She caused me to examine who I need to be to her.
And to myself.
I have been more afraid numerous times because of her.
Sickness, teething, constipation, black eyes.
I have had more than sympathy pains.
I am learning to be stronger.
Ivy is the unexpected personality.
My mom wonders where some of her zing came from.
A complete extrovert.
Very hilarious.
A walking eyeball.
Aware.
Sensitive.
Busy.
Loving.
She is my first babe.
The one I will make the most mistakes with
The one I will have that special first connection with.
The one who will offer more grace than I deserve.
I am grateful for hilarious Ivy.
A total life changer.
Happy Birthday, Ivy!

I realize I missed two days of gratefulness.
How bout a make-up grateful.
I am grateful for this sisterly connection.
Gaibrien is a great sister!
They love each other much, much.
