Oh girls........thank you for just being you. Please don't misunderstand me- I love my son beyond measure, and I love all the little boys we know (the immense, never-ending stream of testosterone that fills our days). But some days, some moments, the daintiness, the cuteness, the sweetness of little girls is just what the doctor ordered. We had a spontaneous street party on Friday night. We threw up some tables, layed out the treats, and began an enormous play-date. Super fun, right? Well, yes.......but a little out of control too. I went into our backyard to find wrestlemania and pretend fighting at a fever's pitch, and there.........in a little island of serenity......sat two little girls trying to have a tea party! Oh, thank goodness for you! Because in those moments when I just really don't want another pretend missile shot at me, you are a site to behold! I booted out those boys, amidst many protests of injustice, and let the ladies have their space, their peace, their moment. I said my quiet prayer of thanks that I'm the mother of a daughter for the bazillionth time, and then went out to the chaos to shoot hoops and play kickball- pretty awesome things to do too:)
Thank heaven for little girls...and that's no joke! LOVE them! (and an irrational love of pink because of them also follows)
