Tomorrow she turns 2

Wow!  I just took my little girl out for Mexican.  She LOVES chips and salsa--the hotter the better.  My dad would be so proud of her.  Two months ago she popped the lid to hot peppers at Steak and Shake and drank the juice.  The waitress was impressed.

Anyway, my heat eat'n chica turns two tomorrow.  It's hard to believe.  She's a bundle of life.  I know parents are to teach the children, but children can teach too.

Over the last two years, my daughter has taught me:

  • I don't have to have a hunt'n dog.  Though a German Short Haired Pointer would be fun.
  • It's the little moments that make big memories.
  • Life's too short to be in a hurry.
  • Say'n good-by to friends stinks.  My daughter cries and cries when we leave her friend Kate.
  • Big, alligator tears melt hearts--especially Daddy hearts.
  • Celebrate the little things.  When the simplest puzzle piece fits, it's okay to clap.
