It's funny to me now that I ever worried I wouldn't be able to love our second child as much as the first, because my heart is so full of love for this sweet girl. I look into her eyes and sense a certain depth there, something special. I want to simultaneously protect her from the world we live in and send her out into it as her biggest encourager, telling her, "you're strong and brave and independent and capable of great things." Even though she is only four months old, sometimes I softly whisper affirmations like these to her, because I want her to grow up knowing these truths that I am still trying to learn for myself sometimes.
