oh.... the things she'll learn along the way

she's six months old

and

has so much living ahead of her

~~

I told her about all the goodness in the world

and

that red lipstick can really make your face come alive

~~

I told her how lucky she is to be loved by so many

and

that a little bit of a heel will always make your butt look better

~~

I told her that believing in your dreams is a true gift

and

that a scarf dresses up any outfit

~~

I told her that girls hold a magical power that makes us so very special

and

that thong panties aren't really all they're cracked up to be

~~

but

most importantly

I told her

that as soon as she learns to walk

that walking won't ever be enough

~instead you must dance~

always

welcome to the family baby madeline
