On the way to gymnastics on Wednesday, Mia said out of nowhere "Mommy will you please consider getting me a leotard today?" I didn't think much about it and just said "we'll see." When we arrived at the gym, I saw that most of the little girls were in leotards, so I walked over to look at them. They are all...umm, let's see...how to say this...bright...and....interestingly-designed. I pulled down two in Mia's size (one red and blue, one pink and purple), and then I pulled down a third one. She immediately said "That one Mommy. Can I please get that one?" I said "Are you sure you want this one instead of one of these others?" Her eyes were big and she replied "No thank you. I want that one please." How can I say no to that precious girl? So we went to try it on, and it fit just right. She was so far past excited, especially when we put the matching scrunchy in her hair. She ran out to show Lily and dance all around. I heard her tell three kids in the waiting room that "this is my first time to wear a leotard!" After her class, she told me how the leotard helped her to do such a good job. She didn't want to take it off all evening! I know it's not "things" that are important in this life, but I'll be honest, it made me happy to see how thrilled she was. The ear to ear grin was absolutely worth it!
