The 1st of March, and I had the most wonderful day with Violet.
I'm not sure where this enchanting day came from; it was like waking up, and seeing snow. How did it come so quietly without my knowing?
We went to the thrift store and found a huge sack of play jewelry for $2. We potatoed on the couch with our lady cat (Pigeon), and watched cartoons. She told me that we were going to have soup and corn, and grapefruit for lunch. And so we did.
She hovered over my shoulder for over an hour while I tried my darnedest to assemble this wooden penguin model (also a thrift store find). And finally she told me that it was ok, and that we should just play a game instead.
We stopped by the studio and saw Lisa and Kira, and they gave her a purple balloon, which immediately flew away once we were outside. So then they gave her two more, and she held on with every ounce of her being onto their yellow strings.
Fridays are always funny and fun because we don't have preschool, I don't have space or time to work, there's no ballet, we don't usually go to the gym, and it usually is raining. Sometimes the freedom of having nothing to do, even for one day a week, is a little daunting (especially with an almost-four year old).
But today was nice, and I realized two things:
1) She is turning 4 soon, which means this will be my last year with her before she is sucked into kindergarden all day (for better and for worse).
2) I could watch her eat a grapefruit half forever.
