i had to post this picture of riley swinging at our friend wendie's. she looks like older, and like she's got nothing else on her mind--genuinely happy. there are times when i look at her and think "god, i don't know the last time i was that excited or happy about something." and she gets this way over running through the sprinkler, chasing a friend at the park, blowing bubbles, eating ice cream, or just seeing a friend. she's just so innocent. like any parent i'm sure, i don't want her to see anything bad (i don't even like her to see people smoking) or get her feelings hurt. i want her to be strong and see the silver lining in any crappy situation. if only she could be this happy for the rest of her life . . .
