Girls Will Be Girls

In a prior post over at Tween Beat, I wrote a post entitled, Boys Will Be Boys. Well, I adore my boy AND I adore my girl. Why is it that boys are so different then girls? My son and daughter are so different!! Girl’s are so much more emotional and sensitive!! Don’t get me wrong, my little girl can swing a mean light saber, but she is so different.
Why is it that when my little Paige cries my heart breaks into a million little pieces? Why is it that when she plays ponies or princesses my heart melts? I think I know why! I get it, I understand, I am a girl too. I am emotional, sensitive and nurturing by nature.
Raising darling little girl’s is such a gift. Not only is it a gift and responsibility, but it is also difficult and confusing and wonderful!!
During a recent trip to visit family we had a house full of darling little girl’s. Their Aunt Erin treated them all to a fancy pedicure. Not only did they get their nails painted, but they got beautiful white flower decals on top of the fantastic pink polish. I tell you what….these girls were in HEAVEN!!
The next day, I was putting Paige’s frilly socks and tennis shoe’s on when she exclaimed, “Mom, you can’t cover up my beautiful pink toes”! My gracious, what in the world was I thinking? How in the world could I even think such a thing!!
Oh these darling little girls with their pretty pink toes, twirly skirts and mood swings…….how they make our day’s DELIGHTFUL!!!




So I said it…I believe every baby coming into this world should be celebrated! I don’t care if it is baby #1 or baby #6 – the new Mom/Baby should have some type of celebration!
nt to be always ‘talking and lecturing’ to her but I want her to watch the way I live my life and learn that way. I want her to see the way I take care of myself, the way I treat others, the great faith I have in God and in prayer, the way I fulfill my personal dreams, the way I embrace my creativity, the way I choose to be unique and true to myself and the way other’s feel when they are around me.
She wants to touch, climb and destroy everything in her path. I am constantly reminding myself, she is curious and wants to try everything.
