I’m sure we’ve all had that day where we’re looking in the mirror and feel like nothing is right. Your hair won’t do exactly what you wanted, your makeup isn’t quite covering up the fact you only squeezed in three hours of sleep the night before, and the dress you choose is clinging a little more than you’d care for.
I had one of those days recently as we were getting ready to go somewhere, and as I ran through a mental list of what I wish I had time or ability to change, Bubbles comes up and stands next to me. She’s also in a new dress that she picked out and hasn’t wanted to take off for days, and as she looks at our reflection, she comments, “Mama you are so pretty. And we are the same, we match in our pretty dresses!”
It made me pause and take a second look. She was right about being the same, and more than just that we were both wearing dresses. We have the exact same hair, and while I always tell her how beautiful hers is (because it is), here I was complaining about how mine looked. And it’s impossible to be cranky about how you look when you have a sweet little girl following you around telling you how pretty you are.
