When Delaney presented me with a beautiful ‘gift’ this morning..wrapped tightly in her little brother’s blanket…I quickly unwrapped (more hurried than excited) to find a few precious trinkets that remind her of princesses…a crown, a pretend lipstick and a pink comb. She informed me that I was to be the Princess…and my Prince (Cooper) was getting ready to join me… View Post
