Soooo - the princess is competing in this coronation thing this weekend. Her brother competed a while back, and had the opportunity to represent our town throughout the year.
He was good at it - and we feel lucky that he had the experience.
But I do not think I want the princess to win.
She is a serious, thoughtful kid - and is always getting knocked for it. She is not a typical seven year old. She has had a hard year, and I am concerned for her. She is so hard on herself, and I did not want her to enter this year. But she reminded me that I gave the jester two years to try, and she that deserved the same chance - which she does. But judges do not like serious, intense children - even if the children are well spoken, polite and don't pick their noses on stage. Judges pick children who have chubby cheeks, lisp, and giggle when people talk about puppies.
I don't want her to spend a year pretending. I think she already did that this year.

doesn't it seem like life it too difficult for sweet 7-year olds? I don't think I can make it tomorrow. Send me a text and tell me how it turned out. hang in there...
For months I have been wanting to start a blog, but I have been stuck because I cannot come up with the perfect name and every time I think I have a good one it ends up being taken. Last night I thought of calling it whoop de doo.....Of course the search this morning to see if it had been taken brought me to your site. (thanks, a lot by the way. I was really excited about this name)I have 3 young children who are all at home still. I am a busy woman. (did I mention the 3 young children?). I have read your ENTIRE blog today--mostly this evening after all three were finally in bed. I wanted to make so many comments but assumed you probably don't keep checking back for every post made in the last couple of years. So here I am, it is past midnight and I am just dumbfounded. You have an incredible story to tell and I feel like I am entranced. I've wept. I want to know how Melanie is...I want to know how your children are doing and I want to know what else happened on your trip. I don't know why I'm writing all of this except to let you know that I am listening to your story and I am moved and that I, I don't even know what to say. I never comment on blogs. I hope the trip brought you some closure and I am wishing you peace and blissful sleep if you can get it. Please keep writing.J
