Rose: “I’m a princess. And you’re my prince.”
I haven’t had much of a mind to post since we’re still slogging along, health-wise (Rose had a recurrence of fever and tummy ache that lasted a couple days but seems mostly gone; Dean had a recurrence of gastrointestinal stuff that is still keeping him lying low; my sore throat is 95% better but my [...]
I am certifiably insane, and also still very sick (physically,) but I’m on the high that comes from realizing plans for things my kids will love.

Rose, watching Dean shave: “Daddy, I’m going to be so pretty!”
Dean: “Yes, you are.”
Rose: “I’m going to be so pretty, just like you!”
After a brief pause, Rose adds, “I’m going to be sweet. I’m going to be so sweet.”
