domestic reflections: World's Most Boring Video.

World's Most Boring Video.

November 11, 2009

(Unless you're me.)

One of the things I'm determined to do differently, or at least better, this time around is enjoy every second of Little E's baby-ness. Especially these here little sounds (they don't last long enough!!):

OMG! I could've watched/listened to many more minutes of that as my uterus contracted longing for those baby days back. So precious, glad you are pausing to take in those little fleeting moments.

How sweet and precious... and I'd wager that it's not only you that will love to look back at this, but I bet Little E will love it too! --Imagine seeing yourself at the tender age of 1 month old... Wow :)

She's a real sweetie. Am I wrong or was she milk drunk? Or maybe just dreaming of the delivery?
Need to see you soon!

Love it. I wish that I would have done that with my now 5 year old...I didn't realize how fast it would be gone...I was a single mom then & overwhelmed, I guess. I just got married and starting to think about another one. I will do more recording of the babyness the next time around, 'fo 'sho!

at the start, she sounds a little like a rusty door opening and closing...

I love:
Rainy days, moody music, warm drinks, picking fruit from a tree, turquoise water, baking, sharing meals with friends, most everything “old world,” simple, rustic, smart, funny, really hot baths, feeling connected, being pregnant, finding the perfect gift, smelling the tops of my kids’ heads, cacti + succulents, citrus, California light, guest houses, stinky cheeses, everything my grandmother baked, hearing my kids laugh, small world connections, smiles between strangers, snuggling, reading cookbooks, modern, Mediterranean, walks in the forest, being near the ocean, everything about the desert, gold, jeans, Lillet Blanc, natural childbirth, the beginning of a new season, snail mail, hearing someone’s story, people who reveal themselves…

"your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
they come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
you may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
you may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
you may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
for life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday."
