Little Miss E is.... not so little anymore. In fact, two days ago she read her first book, entirely on her own! She's hungry for words and ideas, for independence and to be my little helper. She sets the table at night, clears the dishes, dusts, puts toys away, entertains her sister and even does some cooking. She is most ready for summer and has each day planned out already: picnics, swimming, flowers, sunshine, parks. She astounds me with her knowledge of the world, her tender heart and voracious love of books. February is an odd month- such a paradox. So many days that seem nice but aren't really. So we spend time in used book stores, we finish ABC projects and better our bread and yogurt making. We realize we're tired out from Phd and busy years and decide it's time for some quiet days. Here's to some happy days of puttering around together until spring comes.
