She starts school tomorrow...she's been waiting for this day forever. I found a video clip of her from a couple of years ago practicing her days of the week and months of the year. She was so proud she nailed it at 3-years old. Tonight, after painting her nails and brushing her hair, I'll drink in every bit of her that I can. I'll whisper the same thing in her ear that I do every night. (Well, on the nights I'm in condition to do so....parents, you know what I mean.)
"You're beautiful. Inside, outside, upside down. You know why you're beautiful?
Because you're so kind and brave, and you have the heart of a lion."
Tomorrow, the world gets more of her. And it'll be a better place for it.
