She leads the way



For us having a child is about letting go of expectations, plans, agendas, schedules, housework... someone else is leading the way now and most of the time it is beyond wonderful. It is truly the practice of living in the moment.
The past two days she has had one 30 minute nap and has required 2 hours of coaxing to sleep at night with many waking during the night. Yesterday I said to my sister "I am ready to sell her on ebay for maybe a buck fifty". Then today there was a 45 minute nap in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, much giggling all day and right to bed. I'm here now enjoying the NYT on-line and a glass of wine. Who knows what the next moment will bring but isn't she gorgeous.

Yes, yes she is. Maybe the full moon was keeping her awake. Love that you're getting good use of the pictures!
