There are times we call "teachable moments" as parents, times when we try our best to instill bits of wisdom and guidance in the hearts and minds of our precious children praying that they will remember and use what we have taught them to make wise choices, to be healthy, happy, kind and smart.... to hopefully not have to learn all this stuff "the hard way" like we did.
As Carley is now beginning to learn about "image", picking out clothes, occasionally wearing a little bit of kids makeup, choosing how to fix her hair, and dealing with boys at school who say things like "you have hairy man legs" (ugghh, boys!)..... I want her to be confident in who she is and the beauty she possesses and where that beauty really comes from.
This is an excerpt from one of our little mommy-daughter talks on the subject.
(makes a momma proud)
I hope both my girls and every woman I know will always remember this truth, including myself.
You are such a great mama. Truly.
