Katie Holmes: Purveyor of Wisdom

This weekend the kids and I went to visit Nonna and Mommy and Daddy Lipstick. It was fabulous...sigh, I can't believe it is over already. Mommy Lipstick always saves her magazines for me and tonight as I was perusing Good Housekeeping, I saw the following quote by Katie Holmes.

"I've never met a 2-year-old who is terrible. I'm so cool with every stage my daughter goes through. I just think she's amazing. I hope she's not looking at me thinking, Mom, are the terrible 30s coming on for you?"

I have to admit my prevailing opinion of Katie Holmes was that she was a sweet Catholic girl who sold her soul to the glittery gorgeousness of Scientolo-Tom, but y'all, I love that quote. I can completely identify with it, especially this weekend. I have had lots of Pretty Girl snuggle time while JBB and Daddy Lipstick played at an arcade, ate junk food, and watched Power Ranger movies.

Sometimes I gaze down at Pretty Girl's little face and I can't help but think, is she really real? Is it possible that life can be this blessed? Can a child really be this sweet and precious? Is it possible that a mother could be so overwhelmed with adoration for her daughter? Apparently so.

My Katie is the closest I have come so far to "The Terrible Twos," but she is also the most cuddly, snuggling little girl I've ever met.
