Something I have always appreciated about Tara and Lily is they get dressed by themselves. Yes, I have to help them put on a shirt or zip a zipper, but they choose what they are going to wear. I have friends who tell me they still pick out the clothes their children are going to wear. I love to see my girls come out after getting dressed; they have such original creations, interesting color combinations and unique styles. They both love to accessorize with headbands, jewelry, purses and shoes. However; yesterday there was a new accessory. This one I smelled as I walked by the bathroom and was overpowered with the scent of Sweet Pea and Cotton Blossom. I could not help but smile while I was thinking to myself, "did they just turn 5 and 7 or 15 and 17?"

ReplyDeleteEverytime you smell Sweet Pea and Cotton Blossom, it will take you back to a time of a precious 5 and 7 year old.
Enjoy these years.
I often wonder what happened to the 15/17 year old girl I used to have.
She still is a loving and caring daughter, the same as she was when she was 15/17. But now she is also a loving and caring wife and mother.
