Good Mommy
After rest, Sunita was telling me how she had just given birth to Baby Bandaid (one of her dolls) and what a “good mommy” she was to Baby Bandaid. I asked her (teasingly) who taught her to be a good mommy? She replied, “My Indian Mommy”. Oh, I laughed – totally serves me right. Smart girl, that child o’ mine.

Girls and Babies
Are all girls like mine when it comes to babies? My girl, she is crazy in love with babies.
The look she gets when she gets to hold a newborn is priceless. It’s as if she won the lottery. She shows her biggest and best smile. Are we girls divinely designed to be moms? I think for me and mine the answer is a resounding yes.
