Maybe & Daisy

Is there such thing as a quick, easy project? I've determined that at my house -- in my brain -- there is not.


But.

That's okay. Especially when said project is for a Birthday Princess. My sweet little "Daisy" (Elsie's alter-ego Princess) turns three today.

Really? Only three? With my older girls, each year they get older seems to just sneak up on me. How could they be that old??! But with Elsie, I think she was born five years older than me.

Sometimes I think the "difficulties" that we have in our relationships with our children stem from the fact that we have eternal relationships with them. I believe that we all knew one another in our pre-mortal life and maybe, just maybe, the relationships that we have to fit into HERE, were not the relationships that we had THERE. And sometimes the relationships of parent and child are hard to adjust to.

I think probably Elsie was older than me before we came to Earth. :)

Maybe she should be the mom.

Sometimes I think she knows this too. When she tells me things like:

"Mom, when I was the Mom and you were the kid . . . "
For a while she was saying such things often.

Then again, she has also said things like:

"When I was the Mama School Bus, and you were the Baby School Bus . . . "


So you know . . . maybe not.

Happy Birthday, Daisy! I love you so much!
