When I pick Ellie up from preschool, I tend to hang out for a minute or two talking with other moms or her teacher. Ellie continues to play with her friends that are still there. Last week, while I was talking to a mom, Ellie stopped what she was doing and came over and asked, "Mom, how is it that you're so pretty?"
The other mom and I were like, "Awe, that's so sweet!" I responded, "Thank you, Ellie. How is it that you're so pretty too? Oh - because you're a product of me!" She just smiled, I know she liked the return compliment, but don't think she understood my second comment. I decided that I would take that compliment from my 5-year old daughter. I may need it on a day that I don't feel so pretty.
