winds of love on life


2nd grade looks so good on her,

but, when she tells me about the playground kiss behind the bushes,
i get understandably nervous.......

mom, phillip asked me if someone kissed the boy i like, would i beat her up.
i totally told them i would because i do like josh.
{me picking my jaw off the floor at this point wondering which virtue to insert here}

honey, did you beat someone up?

no, mom, i just TOLD them i was going to, i was in a dress...gosh....

well, honey, ahem.....YOU weren't kissing on the lips on the playground, RIGHT?

no, mom, i won't do that. you already talked to me about this remember.

well, HONEY........
{inclusive topics covered were: dating at 16, finding other things to love besides boys, no fighting EVER, EVER. }

so, winds of love, how was your first day of second grade?
mom, it was perfect...

aahhh, the fight for a good teacher was worth every ounce of energy and surely worth the grin on her face.....

That's awesome. I'm glad she has her priorities in order and would never fight if she's in a dress :-) Gotta love that girl!

She is gorgeous! Has her mother's eyes! Don't you just love them getting older? I blame Hannah Montana...how about you?

Every time I look at your blog, I can't believe how much she looks like you. She is beautiful. I love that story. Thanks for sharing!

Duh, of course, like she could fight in a dress. :)

That girl is such a beauty, I'm sure your going to be fighting off the boys until Mr. right comes along.
