happy Birthday Riley

I feel like I just came home from the hospital with her... but it's been 7 years!
How? My little girl is 7 today.
She is a bright shiny spot in this world. Her imagination has grown, this year, along with her body and her spirit. She is sweet at times..sassy at times. She asks the most profound questions and wants to know how and why for everything. She is sensitive to emotions and especially to others. She is very concerned with how other people are treated. She is so curious..and I know that kids are generally curious..but she is more than normally curious. She cut a worm into pieces(a month ago) because she wanted to see if it would still wiggle around. When I asked if it did...she said yes, for a little while.
We got out of the car one evening and she looked up at the moon and asked if there were lights on up there. She asked about where did the water from the rivers start...if the water wasnt there before. ...just everything she wonders about ..I love to see her brain thinging about these things. She is my joy! She is my happiness(along with my Son, of course). Last night after bedtime-story she rolled her body left to right(laying on her back) and listened to her water in her stomach. She said she wanted to see what it looked like inside her body-to see into her stomach. Maybe I'll find a good book or model...
