She knows me.

Tonight while I was blow drying my daughter's hair before saying goodbye to her, she reached out, wrapped her hands tightly around my neck and said "I'm just so happy for you, Mommy. I don't know what prompted her to say it, because she's been crying all day when we talk about me leaving on a plane, but I do know that was exactly what I needed to hear.

I'll think of that moment every time I feel like crying tomorrow. Well, THAT and also...

This.

I mean, how can I cry when I think of my little Tammy Faye giving me TWO THUMBS UP?

Looks like she got into a fight with the local Avon lady (and the Avon lady won....)

Actually she looks like a mini Amy Winehouse to me. I hope you have an awesome time Y!

Posted by: Dani at April 2, 2008 3:18 PM

I dare you to show up Friday night with identical makeup.

Posted by: Mom101 at April 2, 2008 3:57 PM

This made me cry *and* laugh. Good job.

Also, I can see Tammy Faye but I prefer to think she was channeling Amy Whinehouse.

But with less crack.

What a great photo. It's amazing how well these little folk really know us, isn't it?

Posted by: Jessica at April 2, 2008 8:09 PM

Have a safe trip!

And I love her makeup! ;)

Posted by: Rachael at April 3, 2008 12:12 PM

OMG that is absolutely PRICELESS! What is it with little girls and the hooker makeup? ;)

So glad I met you at Camp Baby and got to give you a hug!

*Know* you? Heck, she *IS* you. (Every mother's payback - heh heh...)

    About Y
    My name is Y, but you can call me "Jesse's girl." I am an Aerobic Dancer and have mastered many moves, but the one I am the most proud of is "The Monkey." I have three kids. ALL FROM THE SAME DAD (Because, did you know someone actually asked me that question?) A 15 year old son, a 11 year old son and a 4 year old daughter who was not planned but who is loved more than words could ever express. I am addicted to Starbucks, reality TV and to getting really good deals through coupons and "club member" savings (Please, respect The Costco Card.) I am extremely competive and if you don't believe me, just ask my husband about the time I sold him out to win a game of Taboo. If you're waiting for the part where I speak of my love for walks on the beach or slow dancing in the rain, you're going to be disappointed because my idea of a good time usually involves things like "burping contests" and "doing The Worm".
