This is what I came home to from my shoot today. This is our girl: soaking wet, tattoos (which she calls, “tats”), bright yellow slap watch (which she sometimes wears around her neck), super cute shirt (which she refuses to wear to school because it’s “too girly”), and Oliver’s shorts (which round out her rotation of gym pants). Her nose displays battle wounds from a fight with a tree (the tree won), and she has a hose. And she’s not afraid to use it.
We joke about how much of a pistol Lila is all the time, and she’s sometimes really difficult, but the truth is, I’m proud of her. She marches to the beat of her own drum and she exudes so much gusto and confidence.
I was exhausted when I came home from Boston today but when I pulled into the driveway and saw her standing there looking just like this, I couldn’t help but smile.
She makes me happy to be home.
(friends: please direct me back to this blog post the next time I call/text with another “Lila is incorrigible” complaint).
This is fantastic!!! Sounds like my kind of girl!
Susan- YES!!!!
In boys, all this behavior is considered normal. Let’s be part of a movement to see girls who act “incorrigible” as LEADERS in training!
