"How could I possibly be any cuter?" The words that escaped from my 3 year old's mouth earlier this week. I didn't even know what to say. I just had to laugh. We have been working for a while on how, when someone compliments her, she is supposed to say "Thank you," instead of what she usually says, which is "Yes." In complete agreement with whatever the compliment was. It could be, "You look beautiful today" or "You are so smart" or "You have such pretty hair" or "I love your shoes."
In the words of my husband, "She has a self-esteem problem. She has too much!" While it seems kind of rude sometimes at this age, I hope she keeps this kind of self esteem problem throughout her life! It's so much better than her being self conscious or unsure of herself. We just need to work on the "Thank you" more than just agreeing with everyone (especially complete strangers) just how wonderful she is!! :)
But, I will admit....I am the biggest part of the problem. Because really, how could she possibly get any cuter???? :)

Our crazy life with our 2 little precious gems!
Our little family...
About us....
Eric and I have been married for 8 years and we have 2 beautiful, wonderful, crazy daughters - Melanie, who is 6, and Meredith, who is 4. Eric works hard to give us everything we need and want, and because of that, I have been able to stay home and raise our girls the last few years. With both the girls in school now, I was able to start teaching preschool part time, so I get to be Mommy and work a little bit....it's incredible! We love Georgia football, going to the beach, reading, and most of all, being together!
