In My Daughter's Eyes (thanks, Martina, for the title inspiration!)

Baby Bug went to the playground for a few games in the sand today. Normally when we come home, her diaper and shoes are full of sand and we laugh about how much fun she had.  Today, however, we were proud and our hearts were warmed to the core.  While she was there, she walked over to a mentally and physically challenged little girl in a wheelchair who seemed just a little bit sad while watching all the other kids run around. Upon making eye contact, Baby Bug smiled and held hands with the girl. The girls eyes lit up and she smiled as Bug held her hand, and I was able to witness the nonjudgemental way an innocent little child can bring happiness to someone who is undeservingly deemed "different" than the rest of us. It is a moment I will never forget.  Thank you, Baby Bug, for being you.

Yeah little B. We can't wait to see you again. You're such an awesome, sweet little girl. Don't grow up while we're gone, okay?
