this little girl … is loving her mama. i remember a while ago calling my sister in tears because piper only wanted wen around. she wanted his attention and his affirmation and his time and to hold his hand and to have him get her dressed … and … and. and i was left wondering where i fit into their perfect little equation. i remember so vividly my oh so wise sister saying, “just wait.”
and here we are. i am gobbling up every little ounce of this delicious girl. she is sassy and stubborn and (at times) calls me “mother” and wen “father” as if we are living in a world much more formal than our reality. she is such a funny mix of fragile and strong. she’ll cry at the drop of a hat but will FIGHT BACK when she needs to. she thinks she is the star of the show and we are all her supporting cast.
and right now … she wants her mommy. she wants to hold my hand and tell me about her day and ask me questions and climb into our bed and i am loving it with every little piece of me.
date night a couple of weeks ago. a little salon, a little shopping & a little sushi. a little perfect.

Holly - Great column this week. I miss seeing the subtle changes and the insights. love you all.
court - em – gorgeous! precious. love it. ella has been the same way – and i was equating it to the fact i’ve been too busy. it feels sooo nice to feel loved and adored by them. quantity is not available in my world right now – but quality is what you did. so neat.
