I picked Karaline up from pre-school yesterday. I used to do this all the time, but now that Regan is a stay at home Mom, she does it. Ever since Karaline turned five, I have noticed that we have lost our little toddler girl. She acts so grown up now. She is a complete girly girl. She plays with Barbie and the Princesses so much. She also watches all the Princess movies from Disney and also Barbie movies. I have never seen her watch an adult movie or a regular TV show, so it is so interesting when she wants us to play Barbie. We have to be Ken and she is Barbie or the Princess. The playing always has lots of kissing involved. She has recently asked her Mom about kissing boys. Should we not let her watch the Princess movies? Every Princess movie involves a big kiss in someway. She apparently has a little boy in pre-school that she likes. I'm just waiting for the teacher to tell Regan that Karaline is kissing him. She is such a pretty little girl, so I've got a feeling Regan will have her hands full...LOL!
I met a dear friend last night. She's a lovely young lady that I used to work with. I could easily be her Mom, but our age difference never made a difference in our realtionship. We are so much alike. I haven't seen her in quite a few years, but because of Facebook, we have gotten close again. I have renewed so many relationships with old friends. Some I have not seen or spoken to in 40 yrs. I even recently got hooked up with a cousin of mine on my Mom's side of the family, that I haven't spoken to in 20 some years. What a wonderful thing Facebook is. It is the bridge that so many people would never have the opportunity to cross without it. I'm sure many of you have the same stories about renewed relationships. I hope I am one of your stories. Relationships are such complicated things. I count my blessins that my kids and I have married our soulmates. I know several people right now that are struggling with their relationships. Your relationship is like dominos. Each will have spots, some will have more spots than others. When stacked up end to end as life goes on, you have to realize that it is a balancing act of emotions, when one tumbles, they all go down. If you choose to get a different domino, you will find that it has the same spots and will tumble just the same. Maybe playing cards would be safer....whatever game you play, just make sure you play fair and don't cheat and realize, its the only game in town that means anything. I wish for all of you love, a safe haven and hope for the future.
Becky, I saw a segment on the today show yesterday that made me think of this-It was a woman saying that little girls shouldn't play dress up or with dolls, or watch princess movies because it doesn't teach them to be independent women. Quite a debate. I saw to hell with those people-I can't WAIT to have a little girl to play dress up and princess with. That was my absolute favorite thing to do, I think it leads to a good imagination.
