Camryn

She sits on my lap, on the backyard deck that I just built, my own satisfaction making me smile, she turns her head and looks up at me, smiles and says " good work mama"!!! Her appreciation makes my accomplishment and satisfaction that much more glorious...I look around and notice that the grain on a few of the boards are not going the same way...Small things...Camryn notices that I am looking at something... That I am concerned about something that I see...She gets up and inspects my work and says "this is just perfect". I forgot about the misplaced boards...We go inside the house and Usher is on the television...Camryn immediately starts to dance and sing the lyrics to "Caught Up"...I watch her and I smile...Her curls bounce, her eyes dance along, as her body moves to the music..Her voice loud and clear..She knows the words, she knows his routine and tries to copy them...To me she is perfection. When she laughs, it comes from her belly, and it is contagious....I smile and laugh along with her..Sometimes not even knowing what she laughing about..I can't help it. Our smiles widen as I dance along with her, our identical dimples deepen, as I attempt to sing- a- long with her....The music is loud..Our laughter is louder....Over the music..I hear.."Look at me Mommy"!!!!! Unaware that I already cannot take my eyes off of her....her beauty goes way beyond the surface of her skin.....She loves to make people smile, whether it be a relative, a friend of mine or her daddies... Or her cousins..She is always being funny and trying (with success) to make people laugh. Yeah...She has jokes...Her delivery is what makes her jokes hilarious...Because more often than not...She is laughing at herself before she has even begun to tell the punchline..What a wonderful quality to have....Being able to laugh at yourself...Hopefully she will keep this characteristic...mmm..It's "quiet time" now...We turn the TV off, turn the stereo on....I lay back on the couch with my legs up....Camryn climbs up on top of me, laying her head on my chest...Her arms holding me, my face is in her hair, kissing her head, rubbing her back...We talk about our days, we giggle, she falls asleep...And I lay there, savoring this moment..For this moment is "perfect". And at this moment...I HAVE "landed"......
