This is my life, and I love it.

Me: Do you want tacos or mac and cheese with chicken for dinner?
My 3 Year Old: Pizza

This pretty much sums up my life as a momma to a strong, confident and outspoken 3 year old. I remember the day we found out that she was a girl. I prayed in that instance that she would be born with a little bit of sass. Just sass folks. Not to be confused with attitude or rudeness. Why sass? The world we live in is a bit scary. I wanted her to have just enough sass to stand up for herself and not taken any do-do (we don't swear) from anyone. I wanted her to be confident in who she was and what she wanted. As always (and thankfully), my prayers were answered.

Sass she has!

Last night, when I posed the dinner question, she answered with such affirmation that for a second - just a second - I was like ok, you can have pizza. Then I remembered two things:
1. That wasn't an option
2. We didn't have any

That's exactly the kind of sass I had asked for. She wasn't rude. She didn't have an attitude. She just communicated what she wanted. Once I explained that wasn't an option and she needed to try again...she said pizza one more time. Just to try. Then decided on mac and cheese with chicken. She shows us signs of this sass regularly. Sometimes she catches us off guard. Let's be real, most times she catches us off guard and that sweet little voice doesn't help. My husband and I often look at each other with the, "did she just say that?" look.

She keeps us on our toes and challenges us daily, and I love it!

Peace, love and soul train...
