Little Swans

Every ugly duckling should have it's day in the sun when it can spread its own wings and everyone oohs and ahs. Not because it is the most beautiful creature on the lake, but just because it is.

All children should have someone in their life who says, "You are the most wonderful, lovable, beautiful person I know."

No one should ever believe they were born too tall, or too big, or too small, or too dark, or light, or dumb, or smart.

I think we should all be born with mirrors hanging over our cribs so we get used to that lovely creature who is us right away.

I will never forget my first baby. He would lie in his crib for very long periods just smiling at that sweet little guy who smiled back at him. (He might still do that for all I know.) I wanted my children to know they were loved! And if some people thought I went a little overboard? Well, they all turned out really good. Argue with that.

I don't think anyone can be loved too much.
