Dragon truths

It was the dead winter one day in January and my baby decided she wanted a DRAGON birthday come SPRING.  Well I nodded and smiled like most moms do when their kids talk about birthday parties.  Themes change like the wind around here-so I was expecting her to come around to a pink princess or unicorn theme any minute.




You see-
Dragons are fierce.  They are determined to be HEARD.
They are often loud and there is never any question about exactly what they want.
A dragon is often caught singing her joyous heart out.


Dragons happen to be super friendly and know how to handle large crowds. They have an easy way about them, a hospitable spirit and usually a team of followers.











Dragons love family and tend to count their members often,
making sure they are all around and present at breakfast,
the dinner hour and bed-time, praying long and sweet prayers 
of  thanksgiving for them.



Dragons fly.
We were in fact trying to capture one today and
before we could nab its legs, it most certainly lifted off into the sky,
all of us half-happy it was set free.






Dragons wait patiently for celebrations.  And then party hard all day, even on into the night, rarely stopping for anything except water and chocolate cake.



Happy 5th birthday, my baby dragon.  
May your year be bold.
May your song be fierce.
May your heart beat strong 
for all things true.
