I want to raise a daughter with a healthy self-image. I want the media to stay away from her with their false, air-brushed photos of imaginary women. I want her to be healthy and active ... I want her to take care of and value this beautiful, healthy body she has been given.
Someday, I will show her this photo. I will show her how happy she was to see herself in the mirror. How happy to see those big blue eyes, that little button nose. That smile. I know that someday she will think she sees flaws in that mirror... we all do it. I wish she could always see herself through my eyes because then she would know that she is the prettiest of them all.

Prita, this made me cry...what a sweet picture with even sweeter words.
Wow Prita! What a touching post. I too hope she sees what we all see. She truly is a beautiful girl, inside and out. We will just have to keep reminding her throughout her life!
Prita and Sean (and Kennedy!),
She is so adorable. Cannot wait until we get to see her this summer. Aren't blogs fabulous for keeping in touch? :)
Thanks everyone! Tara and Dale, we are really excited to see the three of you this summer as well!
