Here's to maintaining some self-respect and sanity while tending to the growth and maturation of young minds, including your own young mind. Here's to recognizing that it isn't necessary to know how everything is going to turn out in advance, and that often Life has much better in store than one can imagine. Here's to hope and happiness even when Life gets complicated, especially then... That's when it's needed it most.

...afterall, the car may only seat seven but room for friends is unlimited...

Space and Pooh Bear

I have E's room about ready. Everything is painted. All that's left is to move in the dresser and fill it with clothes. This has peaked Q's interest in his own room. He told me the today that he wants his room to be Space and Pooh Bear. It took some work, but I finally deduced that he was referring to the color of space (dark blue) and the color of Pooh Bear (yellow orange). I was quite surprised at how specific he was. Those, incidentally, are the same colors that his first bedroom was painted in. It makes me happy that even though comfort to him is in colors he remembers from the old house, he is settling in here (after nearly 1 1/2 years) and wants to bring the old colors to the new house rather than go back.
