Emily is so beautiful. What a lucky mom you are, Beckyann!

You're too young to remember an old song I recall from my early teens (I am 56!), but it is called, "Little Bitty Pretty One," recorded by Brit Cliff Richard. I think it fits her to a T!

Little bitty pretty one
Come on and talk to me
Lovey dovey lovely one
I never want you to leave

Little bitty pretty one
I want you to know
Lovey dovey lovely one
I never want you to go
If you love me - you'll stay
And if you love me you won't go away
If you love me don't you know
That if you love me you won't go

Little bitty pretty one
Come on - talk to me
I never want you to leave

Don't go! Won't you stay! Don't go away!
Little bitty pretty one - come on talk to me
Lovey dovey lovely one
I never want you to leave - no!!


baby

Thanks everyone! I think she's pretty cute too Unfortunately her tummy has been hurting today so it's been a rough afternoon. I ventured to Target today with her and she was pretty fussy - I felt bad for her!! She has gone to sleep and hopefully the tummy pains won't wake her up!
Hope everyone's Monday was good!

Sometimes you learn things about your children that just astound you! Just today I learned that my youngest daughter had it out with Brittany Spears when daughter was a deejay in Virginia.

Daughter was the promotions director for the station and decided instead of giving away two backstage passes to the next caller...they would auction them off and give the money to local charities.

The guy who won the auction paid something like $6,000.00 for the passes. He was a single father and wanted to give his sons an experience of a lifetime.

When the time came, daughter escorted the man and his sons backstage to meet Miss Spears. One son had brought along his poster that had been hanging in his room, and asked Brittany if she would autograph it for him.

Ms. Spears declined saying, "I don't sign autographs" and walked away with her entourage.

This incensed the deejay daughter to no end. She got up and caught up to Miss Spears bypassing the entourage, said to her..."That's the reason why you will be nowhere in 5 years. You have no idea what you have just done. There weren't 30 people in that room and one person asked you for an autograph that would have taken what ...a few seconds...and he would have been so overjoyed he would have been your fan for life. Instead, you took what had been a very positive experience for him and turned into a negative." (Meanwhile the security entourage looks like it might step in but daughter wasn't to be stopped at this point).

"Furthermore, do you know what that father did so that his sons could be here to meet you tonight...he gave $6,000.00 to charity! and do you know how he got the money...he sold his classic car!"

Ms Spears (to her credit) simply managed to stammer "I didn't know."

On a roll...the deejay daughter continued with..."That's the problem. You didn't know because you didn't take the time to know. You didn't care enough to know. If you don't take time to care enough about your fans...don't expect them to care about you either."

And with that, daughter walked away and Ms Spears and her entourage walked on.

That night during the concert, Ms. Spears called the two boys up onstage and sang to them. Then she invited them to see her backstage after the show.

The next day, daughter got a phone call from the father saying, "I don't know what you said to her...but when we went backstage after the show, we were treated like royalty. She even introduced the boys to Justin Timberlake and they got to hang with him for a while. They were thrilled and it was worth every penny I spent."

I know she didn't get that feistiness from me...I think she must have been channeling her grandmother....but she did us all proud.

That was wonderful, Mary. What a kind and caring daughter you have. I love it when people get feisty for a good reason and she sure had one there. She may have gotten that feistiness from her grandmother, but from what I've seen around here she gets the kind and caring from you.

Mary, I think Britney got her just dessert that day, and your daughter will have an extra gold star on her honor badge for explaining her disappointment in such a caring manner. Brava!

My two year old granddaughter is already counting to 15 unassisted! She is always listening and observing her bigger brother and folks then surprising everyone with her wit. This little gal is going to be a real handful. LOL

I am going to brag again. My son completed his summer program and won an award for most outstanding student in Math. This bodes very well for his chances of getting into this high school (1,400 kids apply and only 200 are accepted).
