~One of My Favorite Times of Day~

Undoubtedly one of my favorite times of the day is when Meredith comes into bathroom with me while I finish getting ready to go somewhere. I put her up on the cabinet and she loves to use my makeup brushes, tries to put on lip gloss, brushes her teeth and wants me to put perfume on her.

I've noticed as I'm standing there that I go back in my mind to many years ago, when I was a little girl and my mom would do the same thing with me. I see Meredith as myself sitting on the cabinet and I'm my mom...I can remember the wonderful feelings I would have when I was a little girl it was like being invited into a private world that just involved her and I. We would talk, laugh and play together...I would put her jewelry on and always wanted her to put perfume on me. Mom and I had some of the most meaningful talks in the bathroom both as a child and as a teenager.

I hope Meredith has some of the same memories with me when she grows up...which is happening too fast to suit me.

Hope you have a Wonderful Day~
