Bands and Bonds

Ria has begun to think about her looks. She believes she is old enough to wear headbands like her big sister. When I strap her into the car, she touches my hair and says, "pretty hair!"

This morning when I woke her, she tickled my back and giggled. When I screeched a little and said, "You're tickling me!" she laughed and gave me a hug. She gives the best hugs ever.

Ely starts kindergarten in only three short days. She is a woman of the world in her own eyes. Very seriously, she explained to her Oma and Opa that she is going to a big school. We bought her a new dress for her first day, and she proudly showed it off.

I hope I can help these precious, delightful spirits navigate the morass that is the world around them. They are so beautiful, bright and strong!
