Dear Little Bird. Dear Little Tiger.
Happy New Year! I can only imagine what this year will bring to us. Fun? You bet. Learning? Definitely. Challenge? Wouldn’t be life without it. Love? More than you can imagine.
Cheers to an exciting year ahead.

Learning to Ride Your Bike
November 28th, 2011 § 1 Comment
Dear Little Bird.
You learned to ride your bike in three short lessons. And your momma would like to take credit thank-you-very-much. First we practiced balancing on your bike at the high-school track. Then we balanced some more on a slight hill. Finally when I told you that you weren’t allowed to use the pedals, you gave me a look that said, “Seriously, mom?” and you took off pedaling. I learned a little something about you that day. All you need is a challenge and a hill. Awesome. Just awesome.
Oh, and the fact that you turned your couple tumbles into yoga stretches? Brilliant.

Playing with Mama’s Jewelry

Dear Little Bird, Dear Little Tiger.
It’s official. You are the girliest of girls. Non-stop talk of princesses. Wishing everything were pink. Begging to put on makeup. And digging through my jewelry when I’m not looking.
When I came across these lovelies from the back of my drawer, I couldn’t help but insist you play with them. Gorgeous vintage glass beads strung together to make very special clip-on earrings. You happily obliged.
I think these earrings started with your great-grandma. Perhaps your grandma wore them out a time or two. And I’ve imagined myself a princess when I put on the matching necklace. It’s your turn now. Princess away!
