Because I don't talk to you about her enough. Because I am still flummoxed by this mothering thing. Because she never fails to astound me, even when she is being wicked. Because she is beautiful. Because her brain and heart fascinate me constantly.
Because she is the funniest person I have ever met. Because I've never known the depths of a love like this. Because she challenges me beyond measure. Because time is so incredibly short. Because I look at her and my insides crack apart. Because sometimes she throws the most incredible bitch ass tantrums I've ever seen. Because I want her to know exquisite joy.

Beautiful.
Her eyes say things I had forgotten. What a gorgeous little girl.
She's got the most incredible eyes. She's lovely, as are your words here.
what a sweet little face.
you're right- flumoxed. That's what we all are.
I love those curls but she does have beautiful eyes. I'd bet there's a lot going on behind those eyes.
Lovely post, Jen. Just lovely.
a-M-azing! What a beautiful, spectacular child from a beautiful, spectacular mom.
What a beautiful post for such a lovely child. Thanks for sharing this.
Look at those curls! She and The Baby could exchange curl-care tips.
That shortness is so trippy, isn't it? In the house, toddlers always feel like these huge people, these giant personalities - and then you leave the house and they're these fragile funny baby things.
oh, she looks pretty irresistable.
"Because I want her to know exquisite joy".
A mom, perfectly put into one wish.
Sweetness, all around.
Gorgeous!
And I love "bitch ass tantrums." Will use this next time I'm not sure how to describe what the girls sometimes do!
She's lovely--and your post is, too.
Beautiful, of course. She is a simply lovely child. :)
Peace,

Beautiful inside and out, like her mom - who I am sure NEVER threw any tantrums as a child. :)
Jen...you, M, this post......Perfection.
Gorgeous, gorgeous.
We are on the same wavelength today, you and I.
oh, yes. just - YES.
I think she looks ever so much like J.
I wish the brass ring for her.
So much depth in those eyes. beautiful!
word mama, she is delicious. xoxo
It is amazing what children do to us, they fill us with hope and make us look at the world with fresh eyes.
I think you just killed me dead. She is so beautiful and short and butterfly like.
What a wonderful mom you are.
Good lord, she is ridiculously cute, isn't she? I think I would like to nibble on those cheeks.
A picture is worth a thousand words, right? I would challenge that saying if those were your thousand words, friend!
Then again, those pics of that sweety are priceless, no matter what the cost of words ever could be!
Oh, she is beautiful!! So are your words.
This:
"most incredible bitch ass tantrums I've ever seen"
had me cracking up!! Perfect description.
You said it, it's true, and it doesn't change.
It is a rare thing for you to post a photo so...
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH - she is so CUUUUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEE!!!!
(panting, out of breath.)
Beautiful child, beautiful words.
Your daughter is a natural beauty! Truly. You show so much unconditional love and selflessness. Motherhood. I'm ready for that and have learned so much from all you mommy bloggers :)
Oh the curls, the eyes, the cheeks, just gorgeous.
At deep long last.
I'm coming over NOW packing my bags as I type, and I am going to make her adore me and my girls.
hmmmm. Bitch ass tantrums huh? Wonder who she got her bitch ass will from....
just sayin'. snort.
she is stunning.
She is absolutely gorgeous.
What a beautiful child! And of course you want all of this and more for her...
Ahh! Those curls! So great - have you seen LP's - massive and dark and we are so there with the bitch ass tantrums and all that joy!
So divine!
Thank you for sharing her with us. She is so beautiful.

she's a treasure
Oh, I can see it in her eyes -- she's an old soul.
Beautiful.
What a beautiful little girl! And lovely words from her mom.
Oh my. She is so beautiful.
What a beautiful beautiful child. Those eyes are just taking everything in, and she is so lucky that she has someone like you to teach her.....
Ah, she is incredibly beautiful.
absolutely gorgeous.
Sniff. Thank you for the pictures.
I'm always amazed at how deep I feel for my child. Nobody told me before.
And I don't write about my son that much too. Because it's my blog and not his, but also because he feels like a part of me. Not entirely separate.
What a beauty!
And a beautiful post!!
sure, i try to sneak in a little bloggy reading at work and you make me cry. :)
Jen, she's so beautiful. and her eyes are haunting, open to joy and to all the rest of the gifts that come with being human.
This post made me cry..
So beautiful and speaks through my heart. I also have a daughter. :)
She's so gorgeous!
I got her through Flutter's new post, btw.
Beautiful indeed. And a mother with a beautiful soul.
She is gorgeous and your post? Fabulous.
Precious, precious girl.
LOVE the phrase "bitch ass tantrums"! That totally describes my daughter right now. Like yours, mine is a curly-headed imp who is the sweetest thing on earth until she decides to let loose. :)
"Her eyes say things I had forgotten." Wish I'd said that!Exquisite!
