She emerged from her afternoon nap like so.

At a recent parent/teacher conference, her teachers commented that Sunny is one of the more mature kids in the classroom. The example they cited for this behavior was the fact that she is not easily influenced by her peers. If she’s happily playing a game and one of her friends tries to lure her away or get her to play their game instead, she’ll quietly and matter-of-factly say, “No, thank you” and continue to do her thing.

So what I’m saying is – those bows are a metaphor. And I don’t think I could wish a more valuable or admirable trait on my daughters; a strong and confident sense of self.

I’m so proud of this bow head.
