double digits...finally

This month my 9 year old...turned 10!
I can hardly believe that this little girl was once my one
and only baby girl.


I found the picture of her when she was younger just yesterday and  had to smile because she actually has her own set of glasses now and they are nearly the same.....7 yrs later!

She's the one that:
-I would nap with at the same time in the same chair...everyday
-I would walk around in stores in Mexico and she would get all the attention because of her blonde hair, blue eyes and chubby cheeks
-I would pack around all over the country side
-I would give the world too
-I would secretly wish I could put on a shelf to look at and then occasionally take her down to tickle, poke and play with then put her back.
-I would pray she wouldn't grow to fast.
-I would see all good things in her eyes.
-I would protect from all that is evil
-I would read books to for hours and hours
-I would learn about myself from her

I suppose I should say that all those things are still very much the case...to this day,
except maybe the napping and mexico part.

Oh...that girl is one of my favorite girls in the world.
I love her and remind her daily that she loves me too...and that one day she might not love me so much, but that maybe she will always remember how I feel about her....thus her loving me again. She just rolls her eyes ard assures me that she will never stop loving me.

What a Sweetie, a beauty, a smarty, a doll, an artist, a writer an example!

Out of the mouth of....boys

Just a day ago, or so.... me & my boys were all standing in the hall of a mall and walking by a kiosk for the green nicotine product. Just over the top of the counter there sat two young 25ish year old men eating their lunch and minding their own buisness. I stood close by talking to my love on the phone...at this point we were all at a stand still. As I stood there and discussed the errand he wanted me to run while I am in the mall... by beautiful, fearless 5 year old approaches the men and then said:

"You better wash the tattoos off your arm
or youre gonna lose your job"

the man with his mouth full of food says:

"Huh?" in disbelief that this 5 year old kid would say something like that.

So...because he didn't hear my son right, Cedar gives him some instruction again:

"you better wash the tattoos off
your arm or you are gonna lose your job"

The man wiped the mayo off the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand and says with some annouances in his voice:

"I don't think so"

Cedar just smiled and walked off & so did I!

what a dude!
I am glad he knows that we need to take good care of these bodies that we have!
