We played with girlfriends this morning while Fynn was at school. Paige is always hesitant at first, and wants to go home for the first hour. Then she wants to stay for ten days. I watch as she pats a back and tells a friend that everything will be okay after a dog sighting. How she holds a hand and gently leads the little one. How sometimes she holds back and watches, or gets caught up with acorns and leaves. She looks so tall today, in her boots and dress {picked by her... } Sometimes I just stare at her. She's stunning, her whole being.
