My Katydid


I love children. I have loved children since I was a little girl myself. Having grown up in a large family I was used to being around kids. Sometimes I wonder why I get so attached to children. I think the answer is that children are innocent and sweet. They don't say things to hurt you and they don't care if you are pretty, what clothes you are wearing or the size of your bank account. They love you for who you are. Spending time with children is so rewarding for me. Every once in a while I get super attached to a particular child and Katydid is such a child. She is my great niece. The daughter of Rachel, whom I also spoiled when she was young. I usually take my nephews and nieces throughout the summer months for a couple weeks at a time. I first watched Katy when she was six months old. I absolutely fell head over heels. She was such a sweet little girl. Always smiling and what a smile she has. She can melt your heart. She is such a beautiful little girl on the outside and her personality matches. She lights up a room when she enters it. She has such a sweet way about her that you just want to hug her all the time. She loves to feed the cows on the farm and feed Angel our horse. I don't think there is anything she doesn't like to do outside. When she leaves to go back home, I miss her terribly and my heart feels like it will break. I usually spend the next week crying because I miss her and start thinking about how I can talk her momma into letting me have her for a couple more weeks. I love all my nephews and nieces like they were my own. They are very precious to me. I wanted to share Katydid with you all ,so you can see what sunshine looks like closeup. I don't have any of her best pictures on my computer but her best picture couldn't do her justice.
