Lots of craziness: the future

the future

One upped by my kid this afternoon...
Amanda: My throat hurts a little
Me (being a smart ass): Probably from all that talking.
Emilee (being a bigger smart ass): All that BACK talking
lmao, it has happened! She is actually quicker than me.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Emilee and I talking about her new friend Austin.
Emilee: We just talk and play... mostly we are planning out his birthday party for Saturday... Mommy, he says he wants to be with me for all eternity.

Does he? Is it possible? Not that I am a moron here, or trying to marry my seven year old off any time soon... but when she has such a strong connection to this boy so fast and so unwaveringly, I have wonder... could this be the boy that takes her to her prom? The first boy to really break her heart? Or the boy that she goes off to college with? Or will he just be the boy she plays with until elementary school is over with?
He could move in two years and she might be crushed...

All I know is that this little boy has some how gotten into my daughters heart. Talking about him makes her happy and being around him makes her day. She spent an extraordinary amount of time picking out his birthday present for this weekend. She cares about him. I am so happy too, because she hasn't really made a best friend yet. And if all the lucky stars align, then he may be it. I want that for her because she has so much friend potential and I hate to see it going to waste while she plays with the kid who's best friend is out sick.

Anyway, mix my imagination together with my parenting and sometimes I might get carried away.
I wanted to take their picture today. To capture their friendship in that sacred first stage. To have a photograph of the first boy to ever tell my Emilee that he wants to spend eternity with her. And not because of any ploys or tricks or attempts, but because he honestly thinks right now that he likes her that much.
He is making her happy right now and that is priceless to me and priceless to a little girl who hasn't ever had a best friend before. I can't help but wonder if I will be able to look back at a picture of the two of them in ten years and then look up and see two seventeen year olds standing in front of me. I'll be able to remember how he moved here and within a month they were inseparable.

[added this morning] here are a couple of pics of Emilee talking to him on my phone

I am friendly and kind, crazy and bitchy, playful and flirty... sometimes I am funny but mostly I just write the first thing that comes to mind and then stop when it ends. I love life and I am lucky to be living the one that I am. Want to know more?

These are a work in progress. They are in the right order, but more will fill in the blank spaces in time as I write them.

"I just got done reading the history lessons on your blog (yes, I've been lurking on your blog). All the respect I had for you...has increased, like, tenfold. I don't think I could have done it. To go through what you have and not only still be able to discuss it with such wit and poise, but also to raise those three gorgeous girls. You are truly an inspiration. You are honestly one of the strongest people I have ever known, either online or IRL. Thank you so much." -Stef
