One of the many many things I love about my Princess is how she sees everything as pretty and wants to make sure whenever she gives something to someone, it’s the perfect “one” for them.
Last week, Princess had written her last thank you for Christmas and birthday gifts to her BFF that lives a ways away so she doesn’t see her often. She came down to my office to get Rylie’s address so she could address the envelope. Then she took the roll of return address labels and had to find the perfect color for Rylie.
Then she took the book of stamps (does anyone call them a book anymore???) . . . and stared at them. I said “Oh just choose a stamp already!” She looked at me and said “But Mom, they’re all just so pretty! I need to pick the perfect one for Rylie!” These are the stamps she had to choose from . . .

She got to the point where she chose the red one and the blue one with squiggles on it. I told her she had to pick one. She said she couldn’t. So I let her put two stamps on the letter so it would be perfect for Rylie
She also wrote “BF” above “forever” on each of the stamps
I’m sure the USPS loved that - but I don’t care . . . my Princess is so sweet and loving that I couldn’t tell her No.
She is very considerate and I am so proud of her. As for putting two stamps on…I’m sure we have all spent .44 in a worse way!! Love…Mom
You have to love everything about her. I wish I had been lucky enough to have a little girl, however your little girl is not so little anymore. I think it is wonderful to encourage that caring nature in her. It is great to have a best friend and do everything to make your friend happy. I called my best friend, in Arizona, the other night and we talked for four hours. When I finally said, “I have to go to bed, she said, I love you-you are my best friend.” It makes me feel like a little girl. She used to bring me little gifts-she called them “Happy Day Presents” when I was overwhelled with three little boys. I think my friend was a lot like your princess. What a beautiful child, who has a very caring mother-lucky her.
