i came home from work
my last day before spring breakto find this doll waiting for me
on the kitchen counter
with a love note attached.
it read . . .
dear mom,
i can't wait to see where we're going for spring break.
every day i miss you so i made a doll for you to put in your room.
i love you.
your daughter,
berkeley
no pattern.no help.
just legos.
and whole lot of heart.
i asked her what she made.
she said she made me.
just legos.
and whole lot of heart.
i asked her what she made.
she said she made me.
in my daughter's eyes . . .i'm skinny,
open,
have no grey hair-
happy,
girly,
and on solid ground.
i'm going to keep that doll forever.

That Berkeley is one little amazing human you created (even if it wasn't out of Legos)! I would keep that doll forever, too! I sure wish the rest of the world saw me through KayCee's eyes :D
Love her!
Funny, she see's the same thing your momma does.....:)
...and a brunette to boot!
She's just like the rest of us, she loves you and misses you and thinks you're fabulous.
Your kids are AMAZING too!
i keep telling you, but you just wont believe me. Glad your daughter can get it through your thick skull.
