I choose my battles...

By now most of you who read this blog (if anyone reads this blog *ha*) know that I have a two year old daughter named Maggie.  Maggie and I share a lot in common.  Not only does she resemble me, but we also share similar personality traits. While I'd like to say that I passed on all of my GOOD personality traits I must admit that I also passed on some of the bad ones...being stubborn, being headstrong, being a little TOO independent, etc. So Maggie has these little yellow rain boots that she wants to wear ALL.THE.TIME.  Seriously, I don't know what it is about little kids wanting wearing boots with jammies, shorts, or nothing at all. Anyway, since we are so much alike we but heads from time to time yet I know when to choose my battles.  Letting her wear little yellow rain boots with shorts (even if they don't match) isn't a big deal.  I know all too soon she'll outgrow them and they'll only be a reminder of her toddler days.  Luckily today it was actually rainy and little yellow rain boots were totally appropriate! ;)

As the song goes.... "let them be little"! You are a great mom - one day you will get to tell your grandkids the story of when their momma wore the little yellow rainboots wherever she went! =)
