MY BABY TURNED SIX TODAY.††And she’s getting prettier and lovelier every minute.
She still let’s me call her “my baby,” but only if I qualify it as “my BIG baby.” †In fact, she has grown so much bigger now. †She would try on her mom’s shirts and they seem to already fit her like they’re hers. †But she’s really still my baby.
I recall when she was four we had a big argument. †She wanted me to stop calling her “my baby,” her argument simply being the fact that she no longer is a baby. †I countered that she’ll always be my baby, whether she’s 4, 10 x 4, or 20 x 4. †Our argument lasted for days, with neither side willing to give in. †I even told her that her being so stubborn only underscores the fact that she is my baby. †She would angrily scream “DADDY!” with her distinct scowl that she could have gotten only from her mom.
One day she came to me to declare that she found a solution to our problem. †I can go ahead and call her “my baby” for as long as I want, but since I insist that she’s my baby I would have to carry her from time to time, and sing for her a lullaby from time to time, and give in to a thousand or so other baby demands from time to time, no matter if she’s 4, 10 x 4, or 20 x 4.
What could I say? †She really is my baby.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIELLE!
Lara Marielle takes my breath away!
Her smile is enough to make my day.
It doesn’t matter how bad I feel,
Her kisses make all cares unreal.
