Oi vey... My fairy princess reads words like, symbolic, and phenomenon. But that's not all, I have been recently been informed that my second grader would like a complete bedroom remodel upon moving into our new house. Request number one: No more pink. Boy, talk about being blindsided. Where did this come from? Only two years ago I took her to the store to pick out her bedding and paint colors. Results: Ballerina sheets and cotton candy wall color. Petition #2: Black and white please... with smidges of teal. #3: An office space? Really? Are you certain you're seven? Um, sure, Ok.

| LOVE THIS - Lu's getting one awesome ceiling -minus the $4,000 chandelier. Sorry, babe, maybe next time. |

| For "the office". Crazy. |
 |
| This is going to be a fun art project for sure! |
 |
| Hmm, maybe teal bedding? Or her desk chair? |
I love you, Lucy. I am looking forward to our upcoming adventures. You are a priceless treasure. Thanks for being so thoughtful, generous, and fearless. Sometimes, I think I need to be more like you.

Notes like this, help me feel like we're doing a decent job. Thankfully, we find them quite frequently. Real ego boosters in times of need.

Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.
