Guilty

I have allowed Laila to go out in public dressed in whatever she wanted to wear.
Yes, I’m guilty. Usually her outfit of choice is a dress with wings. She has to top that off with her gold ballet flats, and sometimes tights. We went to shop for groceries and home goods. Yes we did have a few strange looks, but I was too worn out to fight with her.
We just had to run out for thirty minutes. I think it’s acceptable only once. No, I would not let her wear that to school, church or a special occasion (besides Halloween).

Tales of the Culture Princess Part 5

This girl never quits! I had to make a random trip to Wally World (starting to hate that place now) for uniforms for Laila. While in the girls sections she spots it! The full on ballerina outfit with Tutu in tri color. She just about had a cow trying to take her clothes off in the store to put it on then. She wasn’t screaming or crying, she was mainly trying to squirm out of her shirt. Every time I go in that store she comes out with a costume. I need to sign up for a sewing class and make her outfits!

I’m so excited !!!

Today Laila went to her Language Center for ninety minutes. I am counting down the minutes. I can’t wait to pick her up and at least listen for new words or see new play in action. I did talk to her driver and she said she was singing and dancing. My Laila is a child that usually kicks up dust. She also kicks and screams and sometimes even hits. So to hear that she got along well with the transition is wonderful. A dream come true!

Mothers are everything

For the longest time I believed this, especially since I am a Mom myself. The older I get and the more I experience I can’t understand for the life of me why some Mom’s are so mean to their children.
They treat their kids like scum, and say hurtful things, and don’t support them in any way. With the titles so many Moms’ have what Mom would not want to live up to all of them?
Mom’s hold up the world
Mother’s are everything
Mom’s on a Mission
Mother’s Against Drunk Drivers
Mother Earth
“Mom you are my everything.”
“Mommy, I Love You.”
We are to protect, nurture and love our children. There are organizations just for Mom’s to do that.
I am just striving to continue to hold all titles to hear: “You’re the best, Mom.”
