Z Vision

Downloading all these weird and wonderful images from Z's camera always makes me smile. I love seeing what she's been framing with her little pink camera...best gift ever!

I don't remember whether my parents ever encouraged or discouraged my creativity as I was growing up. But with four siblings, I suppose it was something they recognized would eventually find wings of its own no matter what they did or didn't do. While I'm much more engaged and encouraging of Z's ever blossoming imagination, I hope I will always give her the freedom to find her own expression.

But I'm totally going to be one of those mom's in the front row of every recital bursting with pride. And if those recitals happen to turn into science shows or the math olympics, so be it. Z mom is there! (Gah, I can hear it already... "oh, mom....")

P.S. In anticipation of Z's upcoming birthday, the blog's gone pink!
