God is the madwoman in the attic.
I'm camped out on the threshold with my journal, camera, and plenty of snacks.

this is what progress looks like: summer at the park

plucking and tasting the grass

drumming the boulders

here I come!

little boy in motion


brushing hands in the grass

down dog into the deep grass

looking for a butterfly

there it is!

Summer outings have held challenges in the past. The world was too intense for Little N's keen senses. This summer we've enjoyed watching his senses keep pace with his curiosity. He's exploring grass and sand and rocks. He bends into the cool shadows and springs out of hot sun. We sit together under the trees and watch the other children playing in the park. They are still a challenge for him; our next horizon. We'll get there in our own time.
