I have been watching this baby since she was nine months old. Actually my daughter is the "babysitter", but I have been there every step of the way. When she first came to my house, she was only starting to crawl. Now, at over two years of age...she has crawled her way into our lives and into our hearts.
She is HANDS DOWN the smartest and most polite child I have ever encountered. At the tender age of two, she covers her mouth when she coughs, thanks you when you give her anything, and always uses the word "PLEASE" when asking for anything. (I wish my sixteen year old had the same qualities).
She knows all of her colors, knows sign language, and knows how to make you love her without any effort on her part at all.
Her mother has grown so tremendously, and has become the mother that I hope I have been to my own kids.
At the ripe age of two, she always says "please" always says "thank you' and always fills your heart with a warmth that is few and far between with a child her age.
She is so wise beyond her years that it totally amazes me with her complete understanding of social skills, and knowledge of etiquette.
She is a complete and total joy to have in our house, and has charmed the pants off of every male in our household.
She is a girl who is destined to be a great woman, and will go on to not only make her mark, but probably leave skid marks in her path along the way.
She can count in Spanish, and she count on me, for being there ANY TIME she may need me or my family.
She has unknowingly wormed her way into our lives, and I have never been more proud to have this toddler in my life.
Her mom has met an exceptional man, one that loves this little girl as his own...and she loves him right back just as much.
He has kids of his own, and Reese has slipped right into the mix as if she has always been there.
I am so extremely excited for this new found love for her mother...she could have never been luckier than to find this new "baby daddy".
I am so excited that they are becoming a unit, becoming a family, and starting to begin a new life together.
My "Little 'Reese' of Heaven" has finally come into her own...her own family and her own place to learn, grow and flourish.
When they marry and move, I will miss her so much that I am sure I will ache with the fact that she won't be staying with me anymore.
But I will be filled with the comfort of knowing that my "little Reese of Heaven" is having the best life she can have, and the best parents she could ever hope for.
Sarah Palin..."LOOK OUT"....my Reese will make you look like Rosanne Barr !!!
