Beaming and Glowing With

My sweet daughter Raegan. Hyper just like you're mom, stubborn like..... OK well like your Mom, again. Driven. Picky. My challenging sweet girl, Raegan. I had almost given up. Coloring? Scribbling! In the lines? WHAT lines??!! You want me to make WHAT shape? Draw what? Hell NO!! SCRIBBLING!!!!

But today.

Today, something changed. I got out the crayons, like I always do. I got out the paper, like I always do. I drew a letter "A" in the corner of your page then sat down and started filling out my OWN paper with letter "A's"

"Up, Down, and a line in the middle! Up, Down, and a line in the middle!"

Like I always do.

But today. Today, you sweet, infuriating, challenging, strong willed bit of sunshine. Today you looked over at my paper, chose a crayon that matched mine out of the box.

And drew me the letter A.

"Up, Down, and a line in the middle." You muttered under your breath.

I am so proud of you, Raegan.
