So Proud


I had a VERY proud mom moment recently. Saige was invited to a birthday tea party. It was a fun party and the girls got to dress up, have their hair and nails done, and then had a very fancy tea party.
After Saige got dressed she came out and I said, "Saige-you look SO pretty!"
She said, "Do you know why I picked this dress?"
I said, "because it's pretty?"
She said, "Nope-because it was the only one that was modest."
I was so proud that I was having a hard time not tearing up right in front of the other moms. She was absolutely right. ALL the other dresses were spaghetti straps, etc.
THEN-they started serving real tea to these 6 year old girls. I was about to step in and then I heard Saige say, "I don't drink tea. Can I just have some water?"
It was AWESOME. I only hope that at 16 she is still saying things like this. I couldn't be more proud of her!
