I love the changing of seasons. It's not always just one season I like. Some people say..."I just like summer," or "I just wish it was always fall." I decided that it is almost a perfect balance for me. The way it is set up just makes me appreciate them more. I love love love love LOVE fall. It is my favorite. But I would not love it as much as I do if it were always fall. And winter is just as wonderful, but by the time winter has hung around a little too long I am looking forward to spring and summer, which I know I just got sick of. Seasons length and transissions just help me enjoy everything I get. Yeah, I get tired of being cold and wish for hot, but just as easily I get tired of being hot and wish for cold! And even though spring and fall are PERFECT I would be very depressed if I did not have my time in the snow or hot days perfect for swimming. Fall makes me happy. That about sums it up I think.
Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.
