Watching you bloom

In the early hours of the morning,
I am about to leave for the day,
Before anyone else  in the house is out of bed.
As I button my shirt,
I watch my daughter open the door to the bedroom and climb in bed with her daddy,
She pulls her blanket up to her cheek.
Then with a devilish smiles she declares,
"Go away mommy!" and giggles.
She makes me laugh as I kiss her head and say goodbye.
As I leave I smile at the precocious little girl I'm raising.
She's so smart and funny.
My son and daughter often fill me with awe in this way.
Being a mother I get to watch their personalities slowly bloom.
It's magical and scary sometimes,
But mostly it fills my heart with joy.
