Four

I must have blinked and today, somehow, my baby is four years old.

There are so many things I could say about the past four years, about how she made me a mother and activated a version of myself that I had only ever seen in my dreams. It has been the honor of my life to be her mama, and a true joy to see her step into the role of Gideon’s Big Sister. She is funny and silly and active and sweet and also somehow wise beyond her (four) years.

Happy birthday, Sophie. We love you so much.
