Amazing Grace





This is my daughter. She is 6 and a little ray of sunshine...unless she's hungry...then she's more like a thunderstorm. But feed her and the sun comes out again! Sometimes I look at my children and wonder if we would be friends if we were the same age. I definitely would want to be Grace's friend! She is fun, funny, full of life and laughter, sarcastic, witty, and charming...a lot like me! (Just kidding!)
Occasionally Grace decides that she would like to be someone else. This desire usually occurs when that someone else is getting to do something that she wants to do. Suddenly the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence. So, the other day, I told Grace she had to go to bed. True to form, she said, "I wish I was you. Then I could stay up as late I want." I pointed out to her that if she was me she would have to do laundry and dishes, go to work, etc. She thought about this for a minute and then said, "Okay, I wish I was daddy."
