Drama Queen of the World!

Usually on Fridays, I take J out to breakfast, then we goof around awhile until time for her to go to school. The rest of the week, she goes to the before-school program, usually getting there around 6:30 a.m. or shortly after. So not having to be at school on Fridays until after 8:00 a.m. is a treat! We still have to get up at the same time, but we don't have to be "out there" until a little later.
This morning, I took her to eat at her favorite breakfast diner. She ate 2.5 eggs and only a bite of her waffle (said the batter didn't taste right). Anyway, after we were done, we stopped at Wal-Mart to look around and kill time until she had to go to school. She likes me to take her to her classroom on Friday. We looked at the clothes, books, Halloween stuff, and so forth. We looked at all the CUTE dog stuff - adorable apparel and accessories! It is amazing how much cute stuff they have now! They have this automatic dog-tag engraver. J wanted a tag for herself. We looked around some more and came back to the engraving machine. She pondered what shape of tag to get - heart, bone, or straight. She finally chose the straight, rectangle design. Next came the decision of what to have engraved! Decisions! Decisions! She decided on "Princess J - -" "Drama Queen" " Mommy's Best Girl." How cute is that!? I asked her if it would bother her to have "Mommy's Best Girl" on there (if other kids saw it) and she said no. So we had to get the accompanying chain to go with it. When we got out in the car, I fixed the chain for her and got the tag on it and she put it on for display. I guess she intends to wear it all day - at least until it bugs her or someone says something - you know how kids are. But maybe she will defend it. Maybe it's a fad or something (these tags). I can hardly keep up with what's "popular" and "right." I know I definitely would not pass the muster on that game show, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" Have you seen some of the questions on there? I don't think they have had a million-dollar-winner yet - that's how hard the questions are! I admit that I don't know the answers to most of the questions they claim are fifth grade curriculum. It's enough of a challenge helping J with her homework. She certainly has more advanced lessons than I did at that level!
I guess the point here is that J is a self-proclaimed Drama Queen Princess and now she has the ID tag to prove it!
Have a wonderful day - and let a child know you love him/her today!
