I just got back from the laundry room at my complex and while I was piling my dried clothes into my baskets two little curly haired 3-ish year olds came in with their mom. I noticed right away how beautiful they looked. They were really pretty kids. One boy and one girl... probably twins. Well, they walked in and I looked right at them and said "Hi." That's all. Just a little hi and a smile. The little girl looked at me a little harder and then said loudly, "You look like Tinker bell from 'Tinkerbell and the Lost Treasure!'" Then the boy piped in and said, "yeah!!! You're so pretty, just like tinkerbell's friend!"
So, I'm standing here, in my pj's, hair pulled back, no make-up on, pulling laundry out of the drier. And these two little toddlers thought I was pretty. :) I'm not sure if they would have said that to anyone they saw because they had just watched the tinkerbell movie or something (because I'm no Tinkerbell... I have dark DARK hair and freckles... that's not tinkerbell). But it still made me feel good. Little kids are candid. They are blunt and truthful. That small little comment made me feel so happy inside for some reason.
After this little exchange, they started jabbering about hannah montana or something and I just said goodbye and left. :)
On a side note... We're going to my favorite place in the world today. The River!!! It will be Ethan's first time and I have NO clue how he's going to do during the 4 hour car ride. The longest he's been in the car is about an hour. Oh boy. Wish me luck.

How funny! I would have said Snow White or Belle? Tinkerbell is blonde, but how cute.
I think you look magical and beautiful. I see where they were coming from.
Glad that you had a "moment of light" today. Let us know how the trip with Ethan goes.
