A Happy Story (for a Happy Birthday!)

and the fact that things have been heavy (yet hopeful) around these parts,

I decided to go spelunking, way back into the cavernous, yet delightful, happy story of my past.

As I mentioned yesterday, I receive so many messages from people who are feeling off, or alone, or just simply down, so I have decided to dig up some old happy stories for you, so that if you need a quick pick me up (while we eat any of the cake that is leftover from breakfast. Oh yes. The cake given to me by the girl whom I told I loved!) then here is a virtual sweet treat for you. I hand-picked some posts that I thought would let you get to know me better–the old me–when I was a new mother. I feel so blessed to have written this blog daily for 4 years, as I have my daughter’s entire history recorded;

I have, written down, those tiny things that I wouldn’t have remembered otherwise.

Bon Appetit.

Some people have days of the week undies.
Or socks.

And then there are some people with days of the week tutus.

Or so I’ve been told.

You know you have a girlie girl when…

You know you have a girlie girl when…
She goes to Rosh Hashana dinner with lipstick on her teeth;
She says “gown” instead of down”;
You lose sight of her in the mall and find her here:

You can always spot her in her hiding spots because of her pink, sparkly shoes. (See above.);
She loves to brush her dolly’s hair. And her Sesame characters’ hair. And her own hair. And, this morning, she tried to brush her cup’s “hair”. And then, I spotted her going towards her giant bouncy ball, waving her hair brush. I had to look away;
Her giant bouncy ball is pink;
She is named for a Disney Princess;
She won’t leave home without her vintage Gucci “Pock-book” and Abby Cadabby;
She sits on my lap, every morning, as I put on makeup, and as I brush and paint, she smells my perfumes and makes faces in the mirror and plays with every potion she can get her hands on;
She almost always refuses to give out high fives, but will show you her shoes every. single. time.;
She cries, hysterically, if I try to change her diaper, but squeals with glee if I try to put her in a tutu;
So, yes, that’s how you know you’ve got a girlie girl…
Or, at the very least, what I know about the girlie girl that I call mine.

Girlie girls 4eva

When I first wrote about the joys of having a daughter a whole, long year ago, I never could have imagined that just one summer later, having a fellow girliegirl, who insisted on picking out my polish color last night, would mean I’d have these bad boys goin on. Ahh well, you win some, you lose some.
(who am I kidding? You know I’m secretly obsessed.)
