mira- "mommy, i have to tell you something. i would never hit an old woman. and you're an old woman cause you're 40."
juno- "you never makes us cookies anymore."
me- "i make you bars."
juno- "that is really not cookies."
juno- "i'm eating my dinner, but this is tasting like dogs."
mira- "who did this?
imogen- "it wasn't me."
mira- "everyone makes messes imogen, even you."
juno- "i'm getting chubby because the mosquitoes keep drinking my sweet blood."
me- "juno is my accident prone girl."
imy- "no she's not. mira is your crazy pro girl."
mira- "i am a crazy fun girl."
daddy- "don't touch each other one more time."
mira- "hey imogen, does one more time mean forever?"
juno has been all of our sunshine for 5 years and we count it all joy when she tells us to "wake your happy up." she still sings a song when she is tired, pinches everyone's armpits, wanted just watermelon for her cake and says i love you unconditionally.
we kept things simple for this homebody and we played at home and grilled burgers.
we had real watermelon, but i also made her a sweet treat :)
our first time to get into the tub and pull a mattress over us during a tornado warning because it was literally right over us. we prayed, sang songs and they each shed a tear. a lesson in bravery was had and we are all safe.
lots of swimming happening over here and great therapy for the youngest!
so grateful for our friends who let us borrow their community pool pass :)
and look at the progress.
she took her first steps unassisted yesterday and then wanted to try and ride her bike.
i am reminded how much wisdom there is in patience. i didn't grow up that way, so practicing it isn't natural and instilling it in these homegirls isn't easy, but patience is such a virtue to have.
happy weekend!
