sky rockets in flight

J and I had a rare day off together alone yesterday. We had some appointments in the morning and then again in the afternoon, some relating to our upcoming move, necessary things we need to figure out before hitting the road. In between we had a few hours alone, early afternoon delight. It's amazing how much more human, how much more prepared for ongoing mothering one is if she is afforded small bits of time for herself.

M is growing, leaps and bounds. The princess phase seems to be abating a bit, thanks to all things holy and good. I'm watching her perceive the world with more expansion, both good and bad, she's starting to take note of cruelty and injustice and also mystery and magic. Roots and wings. We can't shield her from all the confusing stuff but we can do our best to offer her roots and wings.
