I was laying awake the other night at 3:00 a.m. I had been asleep, but woke up and couldn't go back to sleep. I was thinking about an image I wanted to try. This is not unusual (the 3a.m. is) I usually go into a sitting with a game plan, but I always stay alert to what a child does, (or doesn't do) In this case my game plan was not working and I went with the flow, I still got some great things, but I still have an image in my head. The image might stay in my head, or I might try again. The nice thing is that this darling girl, A, is family, so she might put up with this again. A has a totally fake smile she gives me, as do many 5 year olds, it can be a challenge to get a real smile, but often my favorite images are not smiles at all. Thank you darling A for going to the park with me and for letting your mom make your hair so beautiful.
