My kids spend half their life in the water, so it was bound to happen sooner or later that they'd turn into Mermaids.
A few weeks ago we were swimming as usual when a mom brought her two daughters to the pool. They put on their mermaid gear and swam around the pool like something out of a fairytale. My girls were mesmerized. Their breath was taken away as they longingly watched these girls living out a childhood dream.
As frugal as my girls are, they stood no chance against the mermaid outfit, it HAD to be theirs. They both pitched in money and 4 days later it was on our doorstep.
Amidst a busy night Emry pleaded with me to take her to the pool that night. She even opted to go to an unheated pool because it was bigger and she wanted to have maximum room to swim around. Even when the sun started to set and a light rain started to fall it didn't faze her, she was living out a dream after all.
And sometimes ..................... dreams really can come true.
