Picking Dandelions w/ Lilly

My princess Lilly has just discovered blowing dandelions & making wishes.

She has to do this every time she goes outside. Which makes getting her into the car a little harder because it takes awhile for the whole dandelion process.

I'm sure when her dad sees the dandelions on the front lawn all he thinks about is a bunch of weeds taking over his yard. But for Lilly she sees beautiful white fluff she can blow and wish on!

Lilly reminds me of these flowers. Fragile yet strong. Delicate but resilient all at the same time.

Tia Delores said something yesterday that is so true: When she saw Lilly and saw how big she is getting she said, "This is what happens when you feed and water them!"

No other words could fit this moment so perfectly. Water your children with love, feed your children's dreams and they will grow day by day into beautiful people. I am so grateful to be here and not miss these precious moments.

So Lilly still might throw tantrums in the grocery store, squirm around in church and won't clean up her toys. But for now I'll treasure her sticky fingers and fistfuls of dandelions, and love every minute of it.
