What can be done with a 5 year old - laughing, playing, tickling, magic and generally letting go of what you are supposed to be doing (sounds like a quote from a parenting book).
The daily need to feel like some kind of productive citizen in the world creeps back in especially after the new year. Luckily Sandy and Avy took us sledding this afternoon. Watching Avy and Bennett fly down the hill together reminded me of the importance of playing. Sandy suggested I get some cross country skis - she has a lot of good ideas.

You and B look great - lots of smiles. She is so tall. What a fortunate girl B is to have such a loving mom who does so much with and for her.

It is crazy that as mom's we forget that raising a child is being productive. I should rephrase that...raising a good child. Be kind to yourself, Pat. I am so glad you got away for Christmas. I'm with Karen, I have fantasizes about going away for the holiday, but get caught up in the bullshit every year. I do love having my house full of family and friends but I have 364 other days that I could do it. Hmmmm, maybe next year we can all go to PR...you, me, B, KT. Hugs, Karen B
