Here's a conversation Tara and I had a few days ago.
Me: "Baby...what should we get Miss Mary?"
Tara: "Uh...a picture of me!!"
Me: "Okay, honey...that's a great idea. Can you think of another present too?"
Tara: "Uhhh...a beehive!!"
Me: "Oh!! Okaaay. Can we think of something else??"
Tara: "Ummmmm...a pooper-scooper!!)
Me: "Baby...how about some perfume??"
Tara: " Okay mom. I need some perfume"
OMG!!!! Too too precious. I am saving all of these little moments, tucking them away into the deepest parts of my heart...and keeping them there forever, ever, ever, ever. ever. This is the stuff of life!!
shiny. bright. spirit.

She's just too cute! Outta the mouths of babes! Wonderful to keep all those memories and present to her many years down the road - what a gift!
i hope you are writing these little snippets of conversation down to share with her later. :-)
Oh my goodness - that is just the sweetest! Kids just melt my heart. Cutie little pics of Tara always put a smile on my face - I hope she is enjoying this time of year!! :) Hope the moving is going well!
So sweet is Tara. And Such a BRIGHT spirit are YOU. Happy Christmas! xo Jane
The perfect image for the season! My yes, personality and dare i say it, some well deserved sass?
I cannot believe all that has happened to you in the past year (YEAR? Really, a YEAR has gone by?!) and while I may have been MIA over here, you have always been one of the angels in my soul cheering me on through example.
Wow - artist, author, advocate and Joy Warrior extraordinaire ... quite the Vitae!
I cannot wait to see what treasures you create in the New Year. Congratulations for embracing this period of transition with deep, soul work. Such a wise idea! Maybe I will do so once I finish frantically sewing that last minute "perfect" gift idea that just occurred to me today ...
I apologize, but I missed out on where you are moving? Not leaving California, are you? Do send me the pertinent mailing info!
Oh, and the only thing I can offer by way of navigating the changes in our girls is that a solid practice in starting anew over and over and over (such is my yoga and meditation practice!) is the very best we can do. Just when I think I've got a handle on my girl, she goes grows a new attitude ... sigh ...
love to you all!
