May 17th

My baby may not be a baby anymore, but she'll always be my baby. I don't think it took rocket science to figure out that tonights topic would be about the prettiest girl in my world. We made it to day 17 of 17 which is my baby's 17th birthday. I started this month off with a gift and a card for each of the 17 days. A journey of sorts with small tokens carefully hidden right in plain sight. No rhyme or reason, no special time of the day, just the anticipation of something different everyday. It became so much fun to watch her look and then be surprised at the oddest finds. It was more for the memory to know one day she would look back and think while how cool was that or for it to be a good conversation piece when she told her own children the story. For me it is realizing that soon things will be different. Her mother yes; I will forever be, but once she's grown the dynamics shift, so I took this year, "her lucky number" to grant a few wishes and plant her smiles forever in my heart!!!
