WIT (Women In Training)

 These are my girls. Ages 4 and 2.8. 

Me, age 3ish. (note 80's shorts. *erhem* moving on.)

I am a WIT member. Those two blonde beauties are also WIT members. We are Women In Training. (Yes, I could have gone with MOG~~mothers of girls~~ but really, who wants to belong to a club calling itself "MOG"?)

Together we are in training. Together we learn and discover what it means to be female. No girl is gonna learn that from her daddy. Yes, he can teach you how a man should treat a woman and YES, that is important...but it takes a mama to teach a girl the intricacies of femininity. It takes a daughter for her mama to fully realize what her own mama was passing down to her.

 Whose idea was it to entrust two beautifully feminine souls to my care?  Train them up in the way they should go...  this means we have to hold close a few things that are truly female.

This is what I've learned about what it is to be woman since having two of my own:

*"sugar and spice and everything nice" is a bunch of crap. 

* a 3 year old little girl has a hidden diva just waitin' to bust out 

* all little girls yearn to know they are Seen. they are special, glorious, wonderful, sparkly princesses (grown up women feel this too, we just label it differently.)

* tea parties with big, floppy hats are a must both at age 2 and age 88.

*EVERY girl likes babies whether it be human, puppy, rodent etc. If given a chance, she will love on it. 

* women live to love.

* attitude is birthed with your baby girl. you will spend her first 18 years teaching her to smooth it out.~good luck.

* Twirling dresses are a must. Ditto mud pies. Ditto tree climbing.

* If it has a boo-boo, it gets a kiss (whether the injury be on you or the salamander on the ground, things that have boo-boos get kisses.)

Little girls are magical, grown up women would do well to remember that we are magical too. So flaunt that inner princess, wear a twirly dress with a big, floppy hat and hug your daughters:)

 Here's to our training, Cheers! ~~Genna
