Common Mom

My daughter is so sentimental it’s almost scary - especially for a 4 year old. But I love that she has such strong feelings for other people, especially her family.

Last week, Noisy Grandma sent her a box with some clothes in it that she had made. A very cute white tunic top, a pair of pants in a denim sparkly fabric, a vest to match the pants, and a red vest as well. Keira of course loved them - they were SPARKLY, afterall! We tried them on and she refused to take them off. The shirt was a tiny bit small (she’s been ‘blessed’ with my football player shoulders) and the pants were a bit long and a bit big around the waist, but she fit in them pretty well.

The next morning, she INSISTED that she wear the outfit to school, and the conversation we had ended up making me go to work with mascara running down my cheeks.

Me: Good morning beautiful! What do you want to wear to school today?
Keira: I want to wear the new clothes that Grandma made me.
M: Don’t you want to wait until I can shorten the pants a little so you don’t trip on them?
K: Nope. I want to wear them today. They fit me perfect!
M: You know, it’s costume day today, so nobody will see your new clothes all day anyway.
K: I don’t care. I want to wear these today because I really miss Grandma and they smell like her perfume so I can think of her all day.

RIP my heart out!
