(2011) Found Lily Claire singing and dancing and talking in front of my full length mirror in the bathroom. When I asked her what she was doing, she pointed to herself in the mirror and said, "Playing with this new friend!" She's definitely MY girl!
True and funny stories from the lighter side of raising my sons and daughter. As the Southern mama of this crew, I'm usually somewhere between "Bless your hearts!" and "Y'all act like you got some sense!" If we ever need to find our way home, we just follow the trail of red clay and glitter.

Cinderella
(2013) Lily Claire just said to me, "Mom, you are just like Cinderella." As I was basking in the glow of such a sweet, heartfelt compliment thinking maybe I had Cinderella's beauty, or grace, or kindness, I replied, "Oh how sweet! How is Mommy like Cinderella?" Lily answered, "Because you clean all day."
Cherry Day
(2015) Lily Claire and I went outside a minute ago and she sighed and said, "Well, it's another cherry day."
"What?" I asked. "What is a cherry day?"
"The last time it looked like this outside, you said it was a cherry day," Lil answered.
Thinking a minute, I realized, "Not a CHERRY day, Lil! I said it was a DREARY day!"
Hee! Hee! I think we may call it a "cherry" day from now on ... that certainly sounds happier!
