The downside to being prideful..

The other day I was cleaning and walked by Alorah reading to her baby dolls (my girls have been VERY into "mothering" these days.) I was SO proud of what I saw.

I mean what in the WORLD could be sweeter! I read to my kids, they read to their dolls. Modeling at its best!! My heart beamed and I felt like such a great Mom.

Even her dolls were beaming with joy (they are such good babies. The "baby alive" baby hardly ever cries) Their names are Lila and Lucy (they got them for Christmas '09) You may remember them from my "Future Co-sleepers of America" post.

My pride was gone in a matter of moments. Oh well. They are just dolls. We have time to work on this...

and on a totally unrelated note I bought this bumper sticker for the van today:
