Our First "Talk"

My youngest daughter loves to help me around the house! (No matter what I am doing) The other night I was putting up my laundry and she came into my room and asked if she could help. Of course, I said yes! I tell her that she can put my sock away for me. I asked her if she knew which drawer they go in and she said yes. As I am in my closet hanging up clothes, I hear a drawer slam and her start shuffling out of my bedroom. I notice that my socks are on the ground so I call for her to come back into my room. I ask "Hey what happened? Are you already done helping me?" She gives me this look like she did something wrong so I asked her again "What happened?" immediately she starts to apologize and keeps saying "I'm really sorry mom, I didn't mean to!" After I get her calmed down she tells me that she accidentally opened the wrong drawer. I had no clue why she would be this upset about opening the wrong drawer... So.. I asked her which drawer she opened. It was my bra drawer. I guess she has never seen a bra before and it completely freaked her out. I started to explain to her what they were for and why woman wear them. I am patiently waiting for her to say something (as she looks like she is about to pass out) and she says "Oh, they look like eyes." We then went into a 20 questions talk. At the end of this talk she looked like she was about to pass out and I felt like a needed a drink! I guess it is never too early to start explaining thing but this new mom was not prepared for all of her question.

Last night as we are about to go to bed she gives me a big hug like she normally does. After, she said "Mom, why can I always feel your bra when I hug you?" I told her "well that is just how it is when you are wearing a bra." I can tell that she is thinking but I go ahead and start tucking in her sister. When I get done we starting to say prayer and it was her turn to start it. She starts off by thanking God for her HoneyGram and that her Grandpa got home. Then she says "and God please send mom a daddy who will like her cheetah bra as much as I do AMEN." Oh the joy of kids! I am telling you they always keep me on my toes and surprise me everyday!

I hope you enjoyed the read! I'm sure there will be more stories about Miss A to come! :)

Asking for your help!

Family and friends,

I am needing your help! Today I was told that there are some teens who need our help! Some of these kids have been through a lot but I believe that someone I know can help at least one of these kids! As most of you know my 3 kids have changed my world. I never knew how powerful a child's love was until I was blessed with my own! If you or someone you know could help please let me know so I can get you the correct contact! I know everyone that I know can make a difference in a child's life, whether they are a few hours old or almost 18! Also, prayers are a wonderful way to help as well! Again if you can help or have any questions please feel free to ask me! 

Thank you,

Kelsey
