Austin

Each child really comes with so much to teach.  When I have the chance to spend one-on-one time with Austin, I often find myself remarkably happy.  She radiates joy, gives love freely, shows her emotions (and her bare belly) without apology, nurtures instinctively, snuggles easily, and is wildly and uniquely herself.  There is a purity about her– before peer pressure and convention and self-consciousness set in, she lives the essence of who she is.  This type of unfettered and unbounded expression inspires me to live authentically.  Thanks, Birdie:)
