Little Miss looooved her new "sleepy-shirt". "Purple is my MOST favorite color!" she proclaimed. I explained that the purple was the color of the Rosebuds uniforms, that the Rosebuds were these cool girls who skated on the flat track and did cool stuff.
"What's a rosebud?" asked little girl. I explained that rosebuds were little roses, baby roses, like the big flower only all curled up. "Are they pretty?" she asked. "Do they smell sweet?" "As pretty and sweet as you, little one." I assured her, "You are my little Rosebud."
"I don't want to be pretty and sweet," stated the Girl, sitting up, "I want to skate the flat track and be called Kung Pow Chickie and knock all the other girls on their butt-butts!"
OK, I made up that last part.
What she did was just cuddle down against me and sigh.
And then ran off to climb the walls.
Hmmm. I think there she may just be a future Rosebud, at that...

Funny little bit of projection on your part :) Once she gets older and learns feminine wiles, she is likely to scour the situation in order to say those things that will please you.
It is nice that Missy expresses appreciation for little gifts like her sleepy shirt. It is most unsavory to see kids today who do not show proper thankfulness for special gifts.
She's a sweet little thing. I'm trying to absorb all this little girl lovey-ness to help me through the "OMFG you are RUINING my LIFE!" years.
May she always be appreciative for the good in her life. --BTB, I like your new cold weather picture :)
Me too; that's why I put it up there. Getting ready for the soccer season in all my Timbers green. Plus the scarf hides the double chin and the cap the thinning hair. A boy has to ac-cen-tu-ate the positives just like any of the girls...
I feel you are all "postives", m'dear :)
