Even though I work and for the most part summers are status quo regarding our M-F daytime schedule it still feels really wild and crazy this summer in our casa. We are less boxed in and our world is so much bigger. Some times it feels almost out of control. Maybe this is in part what is happening with Lucy at times. There are days when she is calm and peaceful and falls in the normal range of good/bad behaviors but then there are days when she seems "un boxed" in her emotions and behaviors. Like there's a glitch and whoooaaa baby stand back when the glitch kicks in.
Part of me (and I know I'll eat these words soon) longs for winter and the physical boundaries that winter puts in place in Minnesota. I feel like it'll give us a chance to catch our breaths and review all that has happened over the warmer months. Lucy has turned into a kid this summer. Today it occured to me that we just have incredibly easy conversations, its' no effort to understand what she wants and needs. Lucy can understand and accept delayed gratification. She can participate in our daily routine in a way that makes her a partner. It's a lot of fun.

Awww. . . sweet post about her becoming a kid. And great photos, as always.
I just found a picture of her when she was a wee little gal when she was helping me make cocoa gifts for moms group. Now I look at her blog and I'm like holy crap! How do you do it? Maybe we should stop putting Miracle Gro in her food so she can stay little forever...nah then you don't get all the wonderful joys of seeing her grow into a beautiful woman. Cheers to childhood and beyond!
