The Little Mommy ~ 15/52

Joining Barb in 52 weeks of daily life in pictures: trials and celebrations, the extraordinary and mundane --

whatever is unique to the week.
Want to remember the little girl who loved her baby this week. She changed many diapers, sang songs and talked baby talk to her little one. While she is often more influenced by boy things, living amongst brothers, she does have these moments of girl-ness.

She shoots great hoops at homeschool recess, nothin' but net. Swoosh.

Her doll house gets invaded by Star Wars characters and their space ships land in its rooms as if they were loading docks. Still, Darth Vader and his Storm Troopers are graciously received and seated around the kitchen table for pancakes with the dollhouse family.

Her desk in her bedroom has make-up brushes and jewelry inside, but the top is a battlefield of green army men in formation against tan army men.

There are days when she wears a frilly tutu and days where she wears her NHL Flyers jersey. She's nature and she's nurture.

Through it all she has identified with me, the only other female in the house. She likes to call herself the "little mom-mee." I know she'll be a good one! She's getting all sorts of practice.
