Happy 2nd Birthday Samantha


(this is a day late, I know!)
*
Samantha Jo Panter
Often referred to by your father and me as 'Our Toy'
*
from extreme tantrums to extreme giggles we have seen in you a fire for life this year that will be hard to match by any average person
no one will stand in your way, and all will feel loved in the process
you have an uncanny ability to melt the soul of every person that gets lost in your eyes
*
Daddy loves to sit back and watch just how quickly you get me wound up and I love to sit back and watch how quickly you unwind daddy.
*
"NO 'tophie!" referring to every baby taking something from you
"Let's go fly a kite" sung over and over and over
"Doesn't bother me?!" with shoulders shrugged and hands given up
are just a few of the Samanthaisms that we will not want to ever forget.
*
My daredevil, sneaky, adventerous, giggly little toy...
I love you and always will
May God continue to rise up within you a leader that is unmatched save the One.
*
p.s. please stop playing with my makeup!!!!!
