On Sunday morning I brought her to my talk. We painted her nails pink, her favorite color. \u00a0She was excited. \u00a0She packed her little purse and told me she loved me as we left. \u00a0That night, she had an idea, \u201cDad I have an idea, why don\u2019t I paint your nails and we can show Gina (Her school teacher).\u201d So I sat down. She painted. Mostly on the nail. It is all new to me. But I figured she has to learn sometime, so why not practice. \u00a0When I dropped her off, she ran to the school door and showed her teacher her nails exclaiming, \u201cLook at my nails, my dad painted them, aren\u2019t they beautiful.\u201d \u00a0Then announced, \u201cDad show her your nails\u201d. On cue I did, her teachers face was shocked, then smiled, I looked at my daughter and she was so happy. So I announced to her teacher, \u201cAren\u2019t they beautiful, Harper is such a good nail painter.\u201d Then Harper said, \u201cI love you Dad.\u201d As she beamed. I smiled and my heart was open. Tears fell down in joy. \u00a0Love you<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mothermaryswords.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/01\/photo-7.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-358\" src=\"https:\/\/mothermaryswords.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/01\/photo-7.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Having a 4 year old daughter is quite heart opening and amazing. \u00a0She is the teacher I go to.
