“Children’s talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.” Maya Angelou

We were at breakfast this morning in a favorite local restaurant. She was a bit cranky while we waited for our food, so out came the iPhone with her beloved Bubble Guppies. When I snapped this photo, I had to distract her and this is the “stare” that I got . . . how DARE I interrupt her precious show!

She’s a very resilient child who’s Mommy allows her to fall down and get back up on her own, and figure out solutions to problems rather than jumping in and solving them for her. At age 20 months she’s already got quite the dialogue, and has no trouble communicating what she is thinking, feeling, or wanting. I’m so excited to be a part of the journey of her life.
