She shows off her collection at bedtime. Old jewelry, figurines pictures, buckles and buttons. Lace and cloth in tangerine colors, plus all kinds of other pretty things. She makes a big display so everyone can see her things. Arranges her reddish blonde hair herself, those pigtails or braids takes out her bows and butterflies or rubber-bandy things. She knows how to pin a smile just right, with her pink ribbon lips but she still has to collect one drink of water and at least another kiss from her mother and me and three angels lined ten deep then two seconds later fast asleep.

Very tender and sweet. Isn't that the story of all parents of dear little girls, though?!! |

I always wanted a little girl...my brother and some of my friends have little girls and I envy them...of course I love my three sons..they are the best. I'll probably have to settle for calling my girlfriends my baby girls. James |

"She knows how to pin a smile just right, with her pink ribbon lips" This is marvelous! I think you pinned the essence of a little girl just right Liz |
