On her own terms

So Thursday was my birthday, and all day Michael kept telling Lila to say 'Happy Birthday to mommy'. True to form, his request was always met with a resounding 'NO'. Tell mommy you love her. No. Give mommy a kiss. No. Give mommy a hug. So all day long I went without my little girl telling me happy birthday or I love you. Friday morning she woke up ran to me and without being prompted said 'Happy Birthday Mommy!'. A day late, but I'll take it. Like always, it's on her terms.

Maybe it's good Lila is like this. She won't let kids influence her as she grows up and will just be her own self. It's sweet Lila came around, even though it was on her terms.
