Then thought the effort of pulling the covers up would prove worthwhile.
Speaking of Malia... I saw this and it put into words something I want to teach Malia:
So many girls (and boys) have self esteem issues and I believe that they lead to unhealthy relationships- you've heard the saying "you have to love yourself before you can love someone else." I think you also have to love yourself before you can accept love from someone else. So, along with the million other things I want to teach Malia, I want her to confidently know that she is fearfully and wonderfully made- I tell her this every night before she goes to bed. I want to teach her that everyone else is too so that she stays sweet... but I want her to know in her bones that she deserves to be treated well so that she won't accept any less. I know we've got a while before we need to worry about that but... I don't think it'll hurt to start early :)
