We seem to post a lot of vents which we need to, but here is one that will show how happy our little ones can be with everything else they have to live with.
Last night we had a discussion about things. Like BF's back isn't getting better and the concerns that might involve surgery. What this could mean to looking for another job, things like that. He is very worried and just generally depressed about life. Tiff was talking about all she ate at a cookout we went to Sunday (it was enough for 2 people). He said if he ate that much then he'd have to worry about gaining weight. I said to think of rainbows and puppies. He said then he have to take care of the dog and cleanup hair everywhere. And I only said it to think pleasant thoughts.
Anyway to make this long story shorter I told Tiff he just wasn't happy. She said "I could be skin and bones or really roly poly, but I am happy inside and that is all that matters"
Very profound I thought, especially with the struggles she has had this year.

That is so cool that she feels that way and can express it!
Chase comes out with some doozies too sometimes..it is amazing.

I remember a few months ago you posting about Tiffs problems & you you weren't sure what was going on with her, she'd get so upset. I'd say she's making HUGE bounds in self esteem. You must be relieved & proud of her. What an awesome kid you have there, Uni.

I have always tried to tell her that as long as you are happy inside and true to yourself that everything else isn't that bad. I guess with every obstacle she has had she truly is a happy person inside.

Thanks, I try. It is nice to know how much they really do listen to you. Even when you think they aren't.
