My dearest Lily,
This morning I took you to the beach.
I noticed that even though you and I are together all the time, it’s not that often that we do mommy-daughter things on our own outside of the house.
Before there were lots of mommy friends, trips to the library and endless mornings at the park, when you were just a baby, I would venture out with you and it was just us.
I sometimes miss those days so this morning we had just that.
We swam, giggled in the water, made sand castles, looked for shells, kissed, hugged…
I don’t ever want you to feel like we can’t do things on our own and I don’t ever want to lose the bond you and I have.
It’s important and oh so wonderful to have mommy-Lily adventures.
I love you,
your mama
P.S.- You are fearless when it comes to water these days. You think you can swim. But, you can’t. Yet. 😉
Oh, and you love your new bikini because it has a top for the “maminhas” (boobies) like mine has.
i love you ratinha

@Rachel,
Miami may not have hills or mountains, different kind of trees, great weather but, it does have heavenly water. 😉
