the sweetest thing

My J is a complete water child. I realized it back when she was a baby and when nothing else would calm her, I would run the water faucet and she would melt in my arms. In water, on water, near water, playing with water - J is happy. Water still tops the list of things she loves. Music and dance are up there too.

Just about every afternoon during the summer, J and I go swimming at the community pool. She also takes daily swim lessons there. On Thursdays, we can only stay an hour or so, until it's time to get ready for her ballet class. It is the only time she will willingly leave before the pool closes.

Today while we were playing and bobbing around in the water. J said the following:

I LOVE swimming every day. I LOVE swimming lessons. I LOVE dance class.

And I LOVE you.

Aaaaaaaah. I am a very lucky woman.

may day

This morning when I opened the front door, these were waiting for me on the porch...

My girl spent last night with her dad and his mother. This morning, J and her grandmother went around the neighborhood delivering flowers to a select few...How I love my girl.

We finally had a warm day without wind. One of the summery things I indulged in today was watering the front lawns. J saw me and asked her dad if she could come visit. This is her doing her favorite thing on any day - playing in water...

Happy May Day!
