Little Mommy

My all time favorite book as a little girl was Sharon Kane's - Little Mommy. I read this book 100's( possibly 1000's) of times and was thrilled when my mom gave me my childhood copy of this book when I was pregnant with Grace. It is in rough condition as I spent so much time reviewing each page and dreaming of being a mommy. I wrote my name all over the book to make clear to my sisters that this was my book and there was no mistaking that! I loved that book and still do. It is the story of a little girl who plays mommy (which I always did too) and has 3 children (dolls) - Annabelle, Betsy and Bonnie. Little Mommy is no longer in circulation and is bidding on Ebay for upwards of $150 - that is for a like new condition! Crazy!! However, for me the book is priceless and I would never sell my copy :)

It is so heart-warming and adorable to me that Grace absolutely loves the book as well! We read it almost every night and when I get the book out she has to lean her head forward to kiss the little girl and doll on the first page - it is so precious! Well, as Gracie has been expanding her vocabulary and talking more these days - she now gets the book and says, "Mama". I never would have dreamed as a little girl that I would one day have a beautiful daughter, Grace, and that I would be at 30 years old reading the same exact book to her and that she would enjoy it as much as I did (or do!).

I am so thankful to my mom for keeping this wonderful book for me, and I am blessed to carry these memories on with Grace, it is so special.
