A is for Audrey

Sweetie has a drawer of play clothes that she can choose from when she wants to dress herself.
When she spilled chocolate ice cream all over the shirt she was wearing I asked her to please go to her "play clothes" drawer and change her shirt.

She dutifully obliged and on her way out of her room she said, "Mama, close your eyes because I have a surprise for you." I closed my eyes....(peeking ever so slightly)

Then with sheer delight she said,

"Open your eyes...SURPRISE....I'm wearing YOU on my shirt!"

Oh, my daughter...bless your great big heart.....how you made my day!

    I can see the resemblance, both beautiful brunettes with a lot of class...and yet appoachable and down to earth too.

    Over here, the children pride themselves on a "brutal honesty"
    I don't know where they learned that from, I'm a big believer in rose colored glasses in a darkened room and lots of alcohol.

    Send sweetie pie over here I can't handle the truth.

    Love Valerie

    Right on Sweetie. And the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree with you either.

    Love that sweet girl (and her mom).

    Have you ever looked into the face - the eyes of a child and been so moved that you hoped one day to know them as an adult? To stand witness to their inner beauty and experience the joy their thoughts and smiles brings to others. I do...
