On the way home from church today I asked Madeleine what she wanted from Santa, here is how the conversation went...
Madeleine: I want another American Girl doll.
Kerry/Mom: Another one? Santa brought you one last year. I think Santa would like to bring you something different this year.
Madeleine: What if I cut my hair?
Kerry/Mom: What?
Madeleine: Then, Santa won't recognize me.
Kerry/Mom: What?
Madeleine: When I sit on Santa's lap.
Kerry/Mom: Won't Santa recognize Everett from last year?
Madeleine: We can cut Everett's hair too.
Kerry/Mom: (Laughing...)
Madeleine: And Everett won't be crying this year.
Kerry/Mom: Oh, okay...
This space once chronicled life with children and our Dallas adventures. Now the kids are grown, and I’m still adventuring — traveling, thinking, and writing — as I learn to trade social media scrolling for slower reflections.
