why is the crappy doll from the dollar store always around while the teeny tiny way-overpriced kai-lan toy is totally MIA??
and why can’t she go to sleep without the teeny tiny way-overpriced kai-lan toy?
why do bad, horrible, awful evenings always back right up to very early mornings?
why does one really crave something to eat or drink only when one doesn’t have it in the house?
and why do these cravings only come when the kid is in bed and the husband is teaching?
why is it that when i finally catch up with the dishes, laundry and general housekeeping, my child gets into the tiny things like the jar of hair elastics? or empties my hole puncher all over the floor?
why does my kid take really short naps on days that i actually have something i need to do?
why do foods that make her scream with glee at home suddenly become repulsive at school? thus making her “that kid who never eats.”
and … … … …
why does this face [and those eyes!!!] make all of that just melt away?

She is just STUNNING Keli!
Amazing how blurry-eyed we become to the *details* when we focus on that one important. thing.
great post!
I ask many “whys??” throughout my day too. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense but like you said, it’s just one look at my healthy, happy children and then it becomes clear.
Beautiful! I think that is why God made them so freakin cute. So when they do the things that drive us crazy, we forgive them so easily.
