"Do you see me?" I wonder, is that the same as,"Do you love me?" or "Am I important?" It is so hard NOT to see this little one. She is bright, charismatic, and energetic. She makes sure you see her. You cannot miss her. I cannot miss her. But she still (we all) yearns for the answer to those questions to be "YES!" Emphatically, Yes! P and I struggle in the day to day, but I love her with my whole being. And I hope that she knows that beyond my frustration or correcting of her, my heart is full of love for her.

This sweet girl knows that she is loved and "seen" by everyone who meets her and yes she knows the love her mommy has for her :)

A very essential truth in this post -- you're understanding what she and we are really asking, always. Oh, how we just want to know we are *loved.*
