Got these cute little wings at DI, but they needed a little fixing (I added the straps so she could take them on and off herself--instead of pinning which appeared to be how they had been attached before. I also added the silvery-black body part--had to hide my not so great sewing skills!) As I was working on them, this little conversation took place:
Tess: Can my go outside and fly with them?
Me: Where are you going to fly?
Tess: Far, far away.
Me: Where?
Tess: Far away where you can't get me.
Me: Oh?
Tess: And my will see Dow-wee. (Sally)
Me: How long will you be there?
Tess: 4 minutes.
Later when we tried them on the first time. . .
Tess: Can you put me outside so I can fly?
Me: Yes, I'll let you go in the back yard.
Tess: NOOOOOOO! (in the little girl scream) My can't fly far far away in the back yard!
She was a natural in them--she flapped her arms and ran really fast! Took up a good 2 minutes of her day--hardly even worth the time I put into them. (should have known better!) Maybe she'll be a butterfly for Halloween. . . Or maybe Greta will give them some love someday.

Unbelievable -- she can't fly far far away in the backyard. Too smart for her own good. I'm sure those wings will come in handy one of these days -- they sure are cute! Someday Tessa will be a powerhouse for good with all the energy that she's got, and you'll be celestialized for helping her get there! I remember vividly in her baby blessing that she would be blessed to have a close relationship with her mother, and it made me think of how close my mom & I were as I grew up, particularly when I was a teenager. Keep the hope alive -- the rewards will come.
Darcee- So this is about your post about god gave us families... Thank you so much for posting such wonderful entries! You have no idea how many times I searched your blog, looking at the different things you went through. I often found answers to my own life, answers that I didn't know I was looking for. I just wanted you to know how much you've helped my life.
