She takes my breath away

We went away last weekend and had a lovely time. Jess was walking ahead of me and for a moment I had to remember she was mine. She tossed her hair over her shoulders with the self belief of a very loved girl. She is tall and gorgeous and she took my breath away. When did my first baby grow up to be such an amazing girl ?
At school there is a communication book. The teacher sends home a comment every week and we send one back.
Last week a relief teacher wrote the comment. This teacher has taught Jess many times over her first years at school and Jess adores her. The comment said "Jessica is always an absolute pleasure to have in class" Her teacher then worte "I agree" And my mummy heart was so so proud. All I want for my girls is to be nice people. Truly. To make great friends, believe in themselves and have the courage to be who they want to be.
Jessica is an absolute pleasure to parent too. Look she is no angel and she and I are too alike to not clash at times but she always has a smile and she has a heart of gold and I love her. She taught me how to be a mum and a much much better person. She takes my breath away daily.
