I have two beautiful daughters.
For some reason, all of my children have
aquired "Gaelic" nick names almost from birth.
The elder (9 years old) is called
Scooter MacDougall.
She loves ballet, gymnastics, skating & scootering, playing piano (including Composing) Dressing-up, reading, drawing, painting, playing with her dolls and bossing the others around. She is nine going on twenty-five.
My younger daughter (7 years old) is called
Tilly McGillicudhy (sometimes Silly Tilly McGillicudhy). She is Wonderfully sensitive and sweet. She ADORES kitty cats and loved our (now deceased) cat
SO much, that she said "Lillie" two months before she said "mommy". She also loves her dolls, and plans constantly for her "next baby doll".
She is saving up for one that "pees" when you feed her...
Tilly is also a wonderful artist. She draws and paints and is full of sweet cuddly-ness. She is also a fan of the color
pink.
I
LOVE being a
Girlie Mom. We enjoy sewing and dress-up, baking and decorating. But, they also love to swing and run and jump and dig in the dirt.
Tilly loves bugs and worms and is always "rescuing" some poor doomed critter... What Joy!
When we redecorated their bedroom last summer, we chose Cecily Mary Barker's
Flower Fairies as a Theme. They have Fairies all over the room! The Apple Blossom Fairies (left) grace the center of their headboard. Such lovely images.
Did you know that the artist was self-taught? Homeschooled, too!
If only I could draw so beautifully...maybe if I had more time to practice...
