Ups and Downs

Pyrate cut a huge lock of her hair off tonight and I'm crying about it. I'm so inextricably linked to that child that every little thing she does cuts me deeply. It's hard and painful and a recipe for disaster and I don't know that I can completely change it; it's the nature of who we are. Somehow I have to find a way to minimize the effect as much as possible. Eckhart Tolle, where's your book about parenting with no ego?

On the other hand, Pepper amuses and delights with her cherubic nature. Her latest sentences:

Baby sad. (I wasn't paying attention to her.)

Alright, kitty.

Ready, jump!
