Stephanie's Life Story

When my daughter was born it was the day me and my wife were still fighting over what to name her. I personally wanted to name her Guadalupe. But my wife said no and named her Stephanie. I didn't mind it was a beautiful name but I still wanted Guadalupe to be her name. When we lift the hospital I was so tired. It was a very tiring day. My wife took a nap while I put Stephanie to sleep. I was a very happy father; my 2 sons were helping me take care of my new born baby girl.

Years went on and my new baby girl grew older. She started walking when she was about 1 or 2 years old. When she was just a little girl she would walk around after a party and drink the bottles that had a little bit to drink at the bottom of them. My family and I would watch as she would walk around and drink out of the bottles. I would make videos of her when we were having parties. When she learned how to talk, we couldn't stop her from talking. She would talk about anything. She would tell us what she wanted. When she turned 3 I and my wife had another little girl. We named her Carmen. Now we had two boys and two girls.

When Stephanie was 8 or 9 years old I taught her how to ride a bike. When she learned how to ride a bike that day I knew she was growing up. I was so happy to have two little girls. now Stephanie wasn't the baby of the family anymore. I think she knew she wasn't the baby anymore because we all started paying a little more attention to Carmen. I think her life changed that day Carmen was born because she had to be an older sister. She had to do more things to help her mom with the new baby. As Stephanie grew older she changed, not only the way she looks but the way she acts. She got older through out the years. She learned new things like to walk and throw tantrums whenever she didn't get what she wanted.

I remember one time when my wife took her to her first day at preschool and when Stephanie and my wife reached the door. Stephanie threw a huge tantrum. She also spit at her mother because she was so mad for bringing her to school. But when she got out of school she was very happy and liked going to school. As school went on Stephanie went into 1st grade and that’s where the teacher was talking to me about a boy that kept on following her every where. It was a boy that had a crush on her. The teacher told me that she couldn't keep them apart. Then my wife told me that the boys name was Julian and well when I heard that a boy was crushing on my daughter I got mad. As the years went on she told me that she doesn't like him. I felt a little better. But time went on even more and I found out that she had a boyfriend. I was even madder and didn't know what to say. The day I heard the news I was sitting on the couch and she was sitting next to me and I didn’t even look at her but then I got over when I heard it was over.

Time still kept going and Stephanie grew older and I knew she wasn't a little girl anymore. And now that she is older I now know that she is no longer my little only girl. Now I have two little girls and two sons.
