Mom " I am going to be you."

"Mom, take a picture of me: I am going to be you. "As her sweet little voice takes on the no-nonsense approach, she puts my readers on and repeats " I am going to be like you." The morning starts off with a fresh brew of coffee with a touch of honey. As the sun rises just high enough to peer in the upstairs window, I hear this yelling...."MOOOoooomie COme HERE." I absorb the last sip of hot coffee as it will be the last for a while and head to the upper level of our house. I run with the arms wide open and great big smile. "Good Morning my precious LuLu!"

Greeted back with a Giant smile, she grasped my hand and said, "lay down and hold my head." Of Course, I will snuggle you, LULU! I have learnt to embrace those invites

they are rare. Besides, I may just get to lay down 30 more minutes. If I am lucky, we may both go back to sleep.

No more than my head got wrapped just right in the pillow and her head supported like she likes it, my eyes were drifting, at that moment a strong loud voice said, "MOMMIE; we forgot to water the plants last night, Roxie (Winnie dog) has to go outside. I need to hold and kiss Roxie; I am hungry."

A list of twenty we need to do, forgot to do and will do roll off like "bullets from an Ak". My eyes shot wide open. My day has officially begun.

"LULU"... how about I fix you breakfast like you do me! "That will be great," she replies, and "I want it to be in bed, your bed just like me and bubba did for you." Leaning her head down towards me fluttering her eyes with a big smile. I had to think a bit... I generally don't let her eat in my bed........"well okay." I will fix you breakfast and be back. I headed down stairs and took the opportunity to have another cup of coffee, start the bacon, and I hear, "MMMOOOOMMMMMIE." I rush upstairs. Lulu shouts, "I can't get the iPad to work", and can you lift the head of the bed for me. Okay, the i-pad works and the bed is lifted and pillows are fluffed. I head back down stairs and into the kitchen to complete her breakfast. My coffee is cold- at this moment, I heated the coffee; I hear this familiar sound again, "MOOOmmmie." I go back up the stairs and as I am just about to remind her I have to cook downstairs, She says, "I love you more." Awh... so sweet.... I hug her, kiss her and tell her I love her more! I dash back down the stairs to the kitchen to catch the bread before it burns! Finally, as I get it all done just in a nick of time, when I hear the familiar voice  yelling from the top of the floor, "MMMOOOOOOMIE." It's my Princess Lulu calling me again. I head back up stairs this time with her breakfast,  re-adjusted her bed and serve my Lulu. She looks at me to say, "I am going to be you." I chuckle and say,
"Great! I have a list of things Lulu wants you to do today." I started listing all the forgot to do and will dos. She quickly interrupted to say,  I am just pretending right now.

Now if you will remember the 10 things to know if you have a Lulu. Several you will find just in a morning's serving. I do believe you will find where patience it not a Lulu's strong point! :)

My Princess Lulu- Breakfast in Bed

What is a LuLu?

        I have the fortunate opportunity daily to come across amazing people across multiple states.

 As, a traveling sales person conversations become the common connection with your clients or possible prospects.  I sometimes chuckle to myself after I revisit an account and get back into my car as people don't remember my name but remember me by my "LuLu" and the stories I leave behind. People seem lured in by her name and often can't wait to see me again to hear the lasted "LuLu" stories. I suppose the name "LuLu" alone arouses the curiosity for people to ask more about her name.

       So, it is never a surprise me when people occasionally ask me, "How did you come up with your daughters nick name, 'LuLu'"? 

       I always smile and say, "she is a rare breed with a special mind".  There is no quick response to describing " My LuLu" over time and many stories you will probably form your own conclusion. You may come to the reality one is close to you and possibly living in the same house. However, to simplify  a quick definition to a "LuLu" is to say their minds operate on a different level and in order to keep up you have to be quick witted, patient and get plenty of sleep. They are a "rare breed" and have a uniqueness in their spirit that leaves a carbon footprint in your soul. Their captivated spirits will touch the heart of all people in all walks of life.

       I hope you enjoy our blog and the journey of a "LuLu's" life.

Ten ways to determine a "LuLu"

 1.   LuLu's are smart, energetic and always a step a head of where 
       they are leading you or where they want to be.

2.   Telling a Lulu "NO"means, they did not ask you the right way 
      the first time to get a "YES". Which leads to a series of the 
      same question asked differently until you respond with a, 
      "yes". 

3.    If you tell a LuLu "YES", they will decide on something else 
       and it's generally back to something you originally told them 
       "NO" to at some point.

4.    LuLu's multitask almost everything they do. They have more 
       than one project working and they generally do them all, at the 
       same time.

5.    LuLu's are selective in their memory. LuLu's remember what 
       their original ideas are about or the final goal regardless to
       actual discussions and changes. LuLu's always remember    
       your promises to them and tend to have a memory lasp   
       when your remind them of their promises. 

6.    LuLu's see the World as their own. They tend to be bigger than 
       the world itself and you are just in it. 

7.    LuLu's have their own time capsule. They do not like their   
       time to be managed unless it is something that motivates them.

8.    A Lulu's world one minute can be full of laughter, running and 
       playing: to a sudden 'melt down' for no apparent reason. You 
       are left trying to figure out what you are already suppose to 
       know.

9.    LuLu's have their own style. They wear what they feel like 
       wearing. Matching is not a priority. Temperature and season is 
       not important. They are completely comfortable with who they 
       are and believe everyone else should be too.

10.   LuLu's ascertain a certain look in their eye. They are totally 
        committed to the cause no matter who, where, when or how. 
        Patience is not their virtue and they don't back down.

These 10 creative characters are bundle behind a beautiful mind and spirit. LuLu's have a huge heart and love life. Hug your LuLu:).

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy 6th Birthday my Princess LuLu! I hope you have a wonderful day .
