So, this morning Ryan came out of her room dressed in jeans we bought at the end of the summer and this yellow, flowy, gauzy top with a headband to match... super cute outfit.
Me: Oh, you look pretty!
Ry (very nonchalantly): I know.
...
Me (snorting): Ummm... honey? Do you know what 'humility' means?
Ry: Yeah. It means not being too full of yourself.
Me: Riiiiight...
Ry (light dawning): Ohhhh...
Me: Let's try this again, shall we? You look very pretty today!
Ry (grinning): Thank you, Mama!
She's not terribly humble but damn, I wish I'd had her confidence at ten. Or now.
I'm so behind on my reading, my bloggy peeps, but I'll catch up soon! Promise!

Hell, I wish I had her confidence now.
I love this kid.
She has a good mama. Somebody taught her to be self-confident and comfortable in her own skin, you know?
xoxo
You have to learn to "wear" that confidence with a coat of humility on top. ;-) Is she going hippy?
This was fun. You are a clever mama.
I love your kid too. She cracks me up. --reminds me of my own little snip. :)
Glad to have you back among the living. (well, you know, the INTERNET living...)
I think it is great that she is so self confident at that age.;)
xo
LOL - that humility line is gray and sometimes a little bit fuzzy isn't it? Glad she owns it though! ;)
Ditto what Blognut said.
You are an awesome mama! That confidence comes from how secure she feels with you, and creating a secure attachment with your kiddo goes A LONG WAY!
Love you. Love Ry!
:-)

SHE... I heard you the first time ;)
I felt so strongly about that I published it 3 times!
My computer is "possessed" or something. Sorry about that!
Ryan is filled with confidence and I love it! Wish I had it that strong myself!
That confidence will come in handy when dating. Mine just celebrated her 9th (going on 17). I sure hope the tweens go fast and teens even faster ... I'm not sure I have the strength for a long drawn out whine.
That's great. She is going to keep you on your toes, for sure!
That's my goddaughter! Go her!
Good for her!
Confidence will open a whole lot more doors . . .
But sometimes you just DO know. And if you can't tell your momma, who CAN you tell?
Maybe it's in the name. My Ryan has been cultivating his superiority complex for some time now.
LOL Ryan is funny :) I have a lot of blogs to catch up on as well!
Glad to hear Ryan is feeling better and back to her sassy confident self!
Yikes!

Good for her...self confidence is a positive thing, sometimes you put something on and you just feel great. xo ♡
Uh-oh. I smell trouble in the years ahead.
Now Diane..we all need compliments! Humility and complements = confidence...or are my maths just crap?!!
Haha! Humility she'll learn...but that confidence...is priceless!!
Love to you beautiful one,
M
