But today, my firstborn turns 14. FOURTEEN!
Can you believe that? Neither can I!!!!!
Claire is one of a kind. She is the perfect mix of Snow White
(calm, kind, good with people and animals), and part
Belle (smart, creative, and steady).
She likes it when I tell her that because she likes princesses.
She has always loved this quote from the classic book:
"I am a princess.
All girls are.
Even if they live in tiny old attics.
Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty,
or smart or young.
They're still princesses."
You, my dear 14-year-old Claire Elizabeth, are my princess.
Happy Birthday, sweet Toad.
