Six

My granddaughter is six today. She was born on the magical date of 12/12/12. She is a magical girl. She is the perfect blend of pretty, smart and playful. Since she was born, she has had a way about her that makes you think she is older. A certain wiseness. Some of the things she says make you wonder if she is really her age. She is my first grandchild and with that comes a special responsibility. She opened the world of grandparenting to me, a world that you do not believe exists until you arrive there. You think you know what this world is and when you get there you are so pleasantly surprised. I will see her this weekend for her birthday party and cannot wait to soak in every minute of her and her sister.
