Happy Birthday, Margaret Ann...

Margaret Ann Gucker, You are 2 years old!

The things I want to remember about you at this age are

such special memories. The way you always are giggling

instead of talking. It's a happy little way to communicate

with a cheerful little smile.

I love to see you on the rocking horse (you think you own it, and for now,

you do!)

I love to watch you nurture you little dolls and try to be the

best little mommy to them. When you see your baby brother crying, you

are quick to go find a pacifier or blanket to soothe his little cry.

I love the many faces you make. It gets so much attention,

and makes you one of a kind. Your little coy looks and

big open mouth smiles.

Someday, sissy, you won't have that pacifier in your mouth,

and I really do think I will miss seeing you keep track

of that little lovey. Speaking of a lovey, your pink crochet

blanket that you rub under your nose reminds me that you feel sleepy.

I love the way you hide nearby to be close to me after I put

you to bed. I see your little feet stick out around the corner as

you lean against the fridge. I find you in many places as you have fallen asleep

outside your bed.

Margaret, you are a special little girl, and my baby girl.

I love you soooo much! Happy Birthday sweetie.

You are 2.
