ONCE UPON A TIME

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WERE TWO LITTLE ADORABLE GIRLS WHO VISITED WITH ME .

THEY LOVED TO PLAY WITH DOLLS.

I HAD LOTS OF DOLLS BUT THEIR FAVORITE ONES WERE TWO BABY DOLLS I HAD LEFT OVER FROM MY PRACTICE AS A PSYCHOTHERAPIST. ONE WAS A BOY AND ONE WAS A GIRL AND THEY HAD CORRECT BODY PARTS. AND WITH THEIR MOTHER'S PERMISSION THEY WERE ALLOWED TO PLAY WITH THEM.



INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THEY BOTH WANTED THE GIRL DOLL SO TO COMPENSATE FOR HAVING A BOY DOLL THEY DRESSED HIM AS A GIRL.



THESE WERE TWO VERY WISE YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE NOW IN THEIR TEENS AND LOVE BEING WOMEN.



AND BOTH ARE VERY BRIGHT AND CANDIDATES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS , I WISH THEM A VERY HAPPY GROWNUP HOOD BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE THEM A LOT.



FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR WE GAVE OUR NEIGHBOR'S CHILDREN SOME NICE GIFTS ONE IS A 6 YEAR OLD GIRL AND A 3 YEAR OLD BOY. ON CHRISTMAS MORNING SHE CAME WITH HER MOM TO GIVE US A CHRISTMAS CARD SHE DREW UP FOR US.



SHE WAS VERY EXCITED UNTIL SHE SAW WE HAD COMPANY AND BECAME VERY SHY AND UNABLE TO SPEAK.

THIS FROM A LITTLE CHATTERBOX WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH FOR ABOUT THE PAST 3 YEARS.

AS A RESULT OF OUR FRIENDSHIP WE BEGAN TO GIVE HER GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS AND THEN RANDOM GIFTS YEAR ROUND , WE USUALLY PUT THE GIFTS OVER THE BACK FENCE TIED TO A STRING.



CHRISTMAS EVE WE HEARD A LOUD PIERCING SCREAM OF EXCITEMENT WHEN SHE DISCOVERED THE BAG HANGING OVER THE FENCE I KNEW IMMEDIATELY IT WAS HER .



SHE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CHILD. FOR LACK OF OUR OWN GRAND KIDS WE POACH ON NEIGHBORS .

WE CLAIM EVERY BABY OR LIL KID WITHIN ANY SPACE OF OUR PRESENCE.



WE ARE INDEED LUCKY FOR ALL LITTLE ONES ARE OURS TO ADMIRE AND LOVE FROM A DISTANCE.

AND EACH HAS A UNIQUE MANNER OF RESPONDING TO US WHEN WE SMILE OR WAVE OR CHAT WITH THEM.
