We were supposed to go to the beach today to see Poppy for his birthday. We were packed and ready to walk out the door when The Boy threw up like he was auditioning for The Exorcist. Unfortunately that was going to make a 4 hour drive a challenge, so we had to unpack and resign ourselves to the idea that we were bailing on Poppy for the second weekend in a row! UGH! The Boy was crying, The Bear and The Princess were disappointed but trying not to make The Boy feel bad, and I was just sad for both not going and having a sick kid again! So the picture today was almost going to be the packed car that needed to be unpacked. I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of The Boy - he just looked too sad and pathetic.
Then after a few hours, The Princess asked me to come and see something that she had done. This is what I found - She had stacked blocks to make two mannequins and had "designed" two dresses. Later on she even added accessories - necklaces, purses, etc... :-) This truly made me smile! I love creativity! I love that she came up with this all on her own. I love making the best of a crappy day! I love that someday I might have my own personal designer!
