Building

I was brushing Mia's hair in the bathroom yesterday and this was our conversation.

Me: Mia, you are really gorgeous. I mean it, and I'm not just saying that because I am your mom.
Mia: Yea, I was thinking that right now too.

A friend once told me that the world tears our kids down everyday, so it is our job to build them up. I guess that approach is better than thinking my little girl is a conceited little brat.
