yesterday i was dressing bean. i looked at her after i got her clothes on and hair brushed and said "oh honey, you look so pretty today!"
she said "no mommy. i not pretty!"
"well, i think you are beautiful," i responded.
"no. no i not"
now i feel bad. why doesn't she think she is beautiful or pretty? she is only two! "why not honey" i ask, fearing the answer.
"because i cute!" she declares.
relief! "oh, you would rather be cute than beautiful?"
"yes! i'm cute!" she says with a big smile on her face.
"ok you big cutie, come give mama a hug!"
she flings her arms open and throws her little body toward me. it's a great hug. my girl IS cute.

the cutest!!
LOL! very cute indeed!
Don't we project our fears and worries onto them?? Like the little boy who always drew in black and everyone thought he was depressed or had a race issue....but it turned out everyone kept beating him to the pencil box and black was the only colour left when he got there :-D
Your Bean is cute and beautiful!
