"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Rear Them Up In The Way They Should Go

E has trained her sister well.

This morning I picked out a blue and yellow shirt for M to wear, with yellow shorts.

M said:

"That is a boy's shirt."

I said:

"Girls can wear blue."

She looked at me in disgust.

Then she had a meltdown on the stairs.

I ignored her, and Daddy made her lunch.

Later, I put M down for a nap. All was quiet and still. I got in the shower.

When I got out I discovered M downstairs. All the boxes in their room had been rifled through and she was wearing:'

a pink skirt, and a pink shirt.

Her sister would be proud.

In other news, if you want to hear about my trip to Spokane check out my cousin Laura's blog. She's much more on top of things than me. (I forgot my camera).
