...over spilled milk!
After church yesterday we raced home to change clothes so we could make it over to Mimi's in time for dinner. I went upstairs to change and help Sunny get her dress hung up and Lila kept yelling from the kitchen that she needed a glass of milk. I kept yelling back for her to come upstairs and change out of her beautiful Easter dress, and then she could have milk.
This is what I came downstairs to find. She was covered in milk, so I took off her dress before I stopped to really look at the situation. Once I took a step back I noticed that she was beaming with pride. She told me, "I poured my cup of milk...I spilled a little...sorry." She wasn't focused on the fact that she spilled about half of that carton, she was proud of the fact that she had poured her own cup full. In that moment I was proud of her too, and snapped a picture. I love this picture, her face sure tells the story.
I wish I could be more like Lila. I wish I could focus more on the positive and not worry so much about all the other stuff.
After all, it was only spilled milk.

I love this. . .. how cute!!
Darling! Her hair is getting so long! She looks so grown up. On a side note, we have been drinking almond milk, too. Jed loves it. (He's had various reactions to cow's milk.) I love it too. Fun stuff!
