Homecoming Distress

So, maybe this is to deep for my first day, but I am putting it out there anyway.

I went for a walk tonight with my little family.  It is Homecoming Dance day so there were lots of people everywhere in my neighborhood taking pictures with all their friends.  I was almost instantly shocked and amazed.  Amazed that some of these girls could manage to walk in the extreme tightness also known as their dresses.  Shocked that their Dads let them out of the house that way.  Maybe this is the small town coming out in me or maybe I am behind the times, but seriously, people.  My Dad would still give me a spanking for wearing something like that.

This of course gets me thinking...I can't pick out my 20 month old's clothes anymore without her throwing an all out crying fit.  Please Lord, let my sweet little angel go to the homecoming dance with all her clothes covering her.  How do I teach a child to respect her own body enough to not want to show it all off?  I pray everyday that I am doing the right things raising my girl.

Thought process...

Walk -> Homecoming -> Whoa!  Dresses... -> My Little Girl -> Am I a Good Parent?

Welcome!

It's true...I am completely random.  Little pieces of things I see or hear everyday map the path of my thought process.  Come along on my journey and see how I get from A to B.  I hope you will you enjoy all my thoughts, whether they are amusing, deep, silly, or questioning!
