Jess is my dear friend. We were born friends because our parents were friends. We were little girls together. You could find us on any given weekend at either her house or mine, wearing some dress-up creation and prancing around in our mom's high heels. We are a lot alike. We are the big sisters to our little sisters.
We grew up, got married, had babies, but stayed friends.
Now we each have one little girl. Our little girls are so much alike. Both spunky, flirty, "don't take no for an answer kind of girls." These girls will go places but life won't always be easy for them.
I read this post on Jess's blog and it hit me hard. Please read it. Girl to girl.

Makenzie my granddaughter was very self conscious about her size. She is a tall slender girl. Both of her parents are tall.People would ask her what size clothes she wears she's 8 but wears a 10 slim because of her height. Then they would go on about how huge she was. She became very upset and thought she needed to be on a diet. People need to think before making comments to children.
that is too sad that would totally make me cry if Kate ever thought less of herself. uh... things you have to face with school, not excited.
Thanks for the plug. Its nice to get positive feedback on this type of post, obviously it is a touchy topic for me still!! Heres to raising confident girls! I know we can do it!
