a daily moment in which we trick her into thinking that reading a bunch of books with popcorn is the same thing as watching a movie with popcorn.
and then darla vogues.
I love that the first moment I saw Darla after being away at a 36 hour birth she was dancing in the window of husbeau’s part time gig.
I love the spirit in this little girl.
i was going to write this up as an unschooling post but decided to keep it a daily moment. i took darla down to the state house building as an unschooling celebration of the SCOTUS ruling yesterday. we explored the ladies’ gallery about women’s rights. i guess it’s not that fascinating to a 4yo but i couldn’t help thinking about the possibility of there being rooms in museums dedicated to the fight for marriage equality someday. someday there will be a bored four year old standing in front of an exhibit on marriage equality. she will be bored because it will be a normal part of life. i guarantee it.
we’re going to go with that sweet top picture as my daily moment since i didn’t actually snap any pics of darla barking like a seal and scaring a whole camp of handicapable children on their outing.
and those others are just thrown in there as if to say “weeeeee! this manmade beach is so fun. join us. c’mon!”
and it was fun. even if the beach was more the consistency of cat litter than sand. it’s ok. if i close my eyes, stay only on my towel and pretend the redneck yelling is really the sound of the waves IT’S JUST LIKE THE BEACH.
maybe like a mississippi beach.
