Princess Alexa

This is how I usually find her, in her tutu with her sparkle shoes and skinned up legs. I took her to a park today and let her ride her new princess bike and as happy as I was to be with her a little part of me hurt knowing she will not need me as much someday. It sounds silly I know, sometimes I get tired, the bathing, making peanut butter and jelly, telling her why it is not a good idea to put bubbles down the toliet, or lick the icecream cone that is painted on the wall at Tybee. But then I think how I will miss those things, and I try to hold them in my head so I can go back to them.
