Fickle boy

Mira has this on-again off-again "boyfriend" Isaac. Currently, they are "off," which is just fine with me and Chris!

This past weekend, we were visiting the newest baby in our family (Cate Beverly, Chris's brother and his wife's new daughter!) and Mira was playing on the swing in the yard. She was doing a trick on the swing and fell face-first into the dirt. She's got this big scrape right under her nose now and keeps telling me that she "doesn't feel pretty" with this scrape on her face. I feel bad that she feels like her looks are at all important and she has not-so-pretty-feeling days. I wish she didn't think about things like that! She also has these feelings about her glasses, saying she doesn't feel she looks as pretty when she wears them. I'm doing my best to convince her otherwise!

Anyway, Mira came home from school yesterday, her first since the swing incident, and told me, "Mom! Isaac said he'd date me again after my scab heals!"

Uggh.

That is too funny. Hope she gets past it.

Oh my. Sometimes having a boy is so much easier! And Mira, you look beautiful with your glasses! I wear glasses every day!
