Our Sweet Flower

My son said it best when he said, "She looks like a flower."

Well today was another great day, not without it's spills, but still good. We woke up and went outside to play. Everyone was having a good time, other than the occasional "I wanted to play with that" game, and then it happened (overly dramatic), I watched my sweet baby girl lose her footing as she walked down the steps. Down she went. Praise the Lord I was standing right there, but I'm was nervous. Sweeping her up, I took her to the kitchen to find a cut under her lip. This broke my heart. My first thought was would she need stitches??? And then of course, "Oh no...I hope it won't leave a scar." She was a trooper, and was fine minutes later. Several good friends checked her out, and patched her up. If you have a daughter, I'm sure I don't have to tell you what a blessing they are. I can remember thinking after having 3 boys, "I wonder if I'll ever have a girl?" It was the one I decided not to find out with that I had a girl ;)

She is precious, and brings such joy to our home. Anyway back on track. After today, I was able to thank God for it being a small thing in her life. Something she'll never remember. Her father and I won't forget. In life it's the little things that can make a big difference. After this little scrap, I was able to cherish her even more. Knowing how fragile she is, and I thank God for helping us through that small moment. And of course I had to go off today and just get her a small something. She knows that we love her, but like any child or girl, gifts are an extra treat. Disney outlet had a great sale on princess shoes, and dresses, that made her night! I took some pictures of her, band-aid and all, because I want this memory too.
