isn't it sad?

that my 8 and 7 (almost) year old daughters cannot take their dolls for a walk in the stroller without being made fun of by other kids (who are ages 6-9 themselves).....pathetic reallY! that those other kids on our block think they are so cool because their parents never watch them and they can get away with riding bikes in the street, riding on the pegs on the backs of bikes, without helmets on, riding motorized scooters in the street (at age 4-5 they were doing this) and just being plain ol' nasty to my girls because they do the little girl things they SHOULD BE DOING! and they are so innocent and naive, like i want them to be......and plus don't they look CUTE playing dolls? even piper was in on the action (NOT) HA HA>i am not quite sure why i didn't get a photo of them pushing the strollers with the diaper bags on their arms. i didn't want to embarrass them too much after the mean kids were teasing them. the cool thing was they didn't care, they kept walking by them anyway, and saying, "mom, they just think they are too cool and they really wish they could play with the dolls"......too CUTE!

Grrrr...I can't stand how cruel kids can be sometimes....Don't you just
wish you could put your kids in a bubble and protect them from all the bad? These are great shots! Very sweet!

I say more power to you! My daughter is almost 19 and my main goal in life was to keep her from growing up too fast! I was successful! She is a dear, sweet, loving girl. She has qualities that are rare in girls these days. She is virtuous, self aware, empathetic,strong in character and modest. You keep up the great work with your girls...you will be glad you did...and they will thank you!
