The butterfly princess

Danae. Born on 30 October 1998. The story of the improbable, yet very delightful child.

You have always had a special way about you. As a young baby, you could fix people with a stare, look them up and down and if you 'approved', they would get the most beautiful smile. Even now, you are able to analyse a situation, sift through all the possibilities and come up with the best course of action. Insightful, situationally aware, and (fiercely) independent. You are a carer who will bring a blanket or glass of water when someone is ill. Although you are very easy going and a (often) a bit of a chatter box, you are intensely private. Your confidence and insecurity are like yin and yang and you get hurt and a bit prickly when you don't get the attention you deserve. You are sometimes afraid to try new things, but when you do, the sky is the limit. Dancing and music always give you pleasure and it sometimes seems as if you are like a rubber ball bouncing about.When it gets to being able to count (e.g. knowing instinctively that if you and your older sister had 6 sweets each and she took one of yours, I had to give 2 more to you...) and solving puzzles of any kind, you run rings around most people. Irrefutable, my darling, is the fact that you are beautiful, talented, very, very sharp indeed, possess a great sense of humour and is a privilege and pleasure to know and love!


Here are some of your baby and toddler moments

Your first day of school (ever so shyly) and then
through primary school to your 13th birthday.
 
 
 
Drumroll .. and then it was 2012, a year of great transformation in your life. You changed from the pretty, young, grade 8 girl into this beautifully poised young lady!

And just like that you were all grown up.... 

 

Our beautiful Butterfly Princess! Spread your wings and live happily, with love, grace and confidence... you deserve it!
