Traveling Hopefully

My mother came over a few days ago and had a newspaper clipping.   She has these a lot, from newspapers, magazines, printed out from a web page, brochure.   She had found something that she said made her think of the situation we’re in with our daughter.

The quote was from Michelle Dockery, one of the actors from Downton Abbey.   She said one of the lines she loved acting the most was, “All we can do is travel hopefully.”

We’re traveling hopefully over here.

The Big Boy Update:  My son was playing with his friend, Dylan tonight.   She’s much older but she is great to our children.   My son told her she was adorable several times.   Later she didn’t let him do something he wanted to do and he said, “Dylan, you’re not adorable anymore.”  Earlier today he also told me, “grownups don’t have brains.”

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:   I found some My Little Pony tattoos tonight.   My daughter wanted to put them on—the full sheet—at once on her stomach.   She lay back and held the wet sponge on the sheet and counted to thirty.   Her stomach is very colorful now.
