BIRTHDAY BLUES
But about a week before the party, Little Beauty and I were snuggling in bed, post bedtime stories, talking about turning four and how big she was getting, when her eyes welled up with tears and she told me she doesn't want to grow up - that she wants to play with her mama and her toys forever. I didn't tell her that the thought of her growing up made me want to curl up in my bed and cry too.
Instead I laughed a little (to keep from crying) and promised her that we would be friends forever. I would always be her mama and she would always be my girl. And, or course, I promised that she could play with her toys for as long as she wanted.
I pray that I can keep that first promise.
LITTLE HANDSOME'S FIRST HAIRCUT!!!
The afternoon of LB's party we took both kids to get haircuts. LH cried his little head off as his first haircut took him from hippie-baby to running-for-office-baby (LH in '08!).

Me and my little man!!!
