Today as Miss G sat on the bathroom counter and I brushed her hair…
Mama: Gracen, what kind of person do you want to be when you grow up? (I wanted to ask ‘what do you want to be when you grow up?’, but wasn’t sure she’d understand the question)
Grae: (in the sweetest, most sincere little voice) Just like Mama.
Goodness gracious… We’d better call it a day. It simply doesn’t get any better than this.

Parmesan and walnut encrusted chicken, roasted brussel sprouts, steam golden beets with feta, cheese ravioli with herbs and spices from Italy.
Tonight, just after sitting down to dinner after a busy (and tiring) day, Gracen, completely unprompted says in the softest, most genuine way…
“Good job, Mama. Dis is a nice dinner, Mama.”
She takes a bite and then says…
“It’s a YUMMY dinner.”
Thanks, sweet girl. Sometimes you know just what a mama needs.
