You know, you worry about whether your child is making friends and being included at school--or at least I do with Gracie. She has always been so shy, and as she gets older I worry even more because she is learning to see how different she is from others. She still loves princess and ponies and plays with dolls. Her mom is super strict about what she wears, and she doesn't get to shop in trendy stores and pick out her own clothes. We don't let her listen to certain music or watch (really any) much TV beyond PBS Kids and a little HUB.
I don't want to change her, and I plan to stick to my morals about dress and entertainment. But, you can't help but wonder what kind of backlash she encounters. You hear and read to many things about bullies and mean girls in this day and age.
And, then you find this in a stack of papers that your daughter left on the arm of the couch when she was rushing to get ready for school this morning.
And you feel good...and proud..and happy she is yours, and other people think she is pretty awesome too!
so sweet!
