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!

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

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?

And I love her makeup! ;)

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!
