#4 hardly ever gets talked about ...

I think it is because at this stage of our life, she is the "EASY" child.  Not that I have tough children, but {b} doesn't seem to give this mommy too many worries.

So here is my little brag about {b} ...

  • Usually does as she is told by the second request (that is huge when you are one of those mommies who often repeats her self over and over and over again)
  • Is one smart cookie ... reading and math seem to come easy to her
  • She can occupy herself better than any of my other children ... I hardly ever hear "I'm bored"
  • Likes TV, but unlike her sisters is not overly drawn to it
  • Loves to create  ... art is her passion
  • Loves to ride her bike  ... she asks just about every day
  • Loves the monkey bars ... she is really strong and agile
  • Loves to compete ... no other child of mine was that determined this young
  • Loves to give hugs
  • Loves to sleep ... she never complains about bed and is ALWAYS out cold within minutes of getting in bed
  • Is my tomboy ... she loves to be active and outside and dresses are hardly ever worn (ick)
As {b}'s mommy, I love ...
  • To watch her race her sister to the bus each day.  She always wins ;)
  • To watch her practice kickboarding in the pool (for her swim practice) ... she is always trying to outdo the other child next to her (this girl is DRIVEN)
  • To watch her move and bounce around ... I call her my little butterfly
  • That she is very independent 
  • That she tells me she loves me and that I am the best
  • To watch her do the sign of the cross left-handed
  • That when you tell her she did a great job, she says "I know" (she's a bit confident ... LOL)
  • Her sweet personality and her kind heart
  • Her white haired spot just up the middle of her head ... natural highlights!
  • The dimple and smile that can just warm up any heart
  • That she loves for me to take pictures of her
Mommy and {b} ... BFF!!!!

E,

Wonderful post. You are such a good Mommy! And I'm sure some year (b) will look back and melt when she reads this.

Great picture of the two of you by the way. :)

Hugs!

Feeling every bit of 46 ... ugh!

When I was 45, I was feeling fabulous.   I was fit, energetic, and I thought I could easily pass for 40;) Age was just a number and I certainly didn't think I felt or looked my true age. Then February 11th came and I turned 46.   I have sciatica on my left side, my left knee is stiff, and I have plantar fasciitis in my right foot.   I've resorted to stretching all the time and popping the occasional anti-inflammatory.   There are dark circles under my eyes that I've had to start putting concealer on.   My hair is growing out from last years 45 year old short hair, but it's just in an awkward stage.  I can't decide if I want to cut it again or let it grow out.   I even thought of styling my hair differently by doing a different hair part.   That was a terrible idea because I was SHOCKED to see how much gray is now growing in the center of my scalp.  I also think my metabolism is slowing down because my mid section seems a little thicker ... ...

"The Loveliness of The Seashore"

What is the "Seashore" like? "Where the sky meets the sea ... The seashore is a place where the sea and the sky are the same smoky gray until ... the morning sun breaks through. The hot noonday sun feels warm as a big soft cat covering you. And it seems there is nothing in the world except the sound of the wind and the rising and falling of waves." Over at Dawn 's there are so many wonderful books suggested on her blog. Earlier this month I couldn't help but to peek at some of them ... thanks Dawn! *The above quote came from The Seashore Book . The ocean moves in and then moves out. This place where water, sky and earth meet is never the same. The tide comes in, the tide goes out, each wave that returns pushes against the incoming swell as it is pulled back into the endless depths and swallowed into the vastness of an unknown deep. Such is each day of our "daily" lives. I grew up enjoying the sights, sound, and the surf of the NY/Jersey "shor...

A scattered post ...

I throw myself into stuff all the time.  It can be anything from the start of a swim season, a new school year, the election, a vacation, an exercise routine etc.  I'm kind of in a phase where I really don't know what my focus should be.  I turned on the television and honestly, I have no idea what is on this fall season ... NO IDEA AT ALL .  If I watched television in the past few months, it was something kid related or Fox News. I NEED A NEW FOCUS. My current thoughts  ... reading a fictional, just for fun book stepping up my exercise routine thinking about our Christmas wish lists and shopping baking more ... I really am slacking in this area ways to save money so that we can get a new (second) washer and dryer for the upstairs (not a fancy kind because this would mostly be used by my oldest two children)... I actually have hookups. I wonder if a lot of people go through a sort of "lull" period this time of the year.  Surely it doesn't last long with the start ...
