For about a half-hour tonight Colter was playing with two little girls who live nearby. They are also 7, and both little Farrah Fawcetts -- blonde, beautiful, and bold. They were all in our den, and I listened from the living room. For a while, they were a family. Colter was the baby, and the girls were his sisters. Then, one girl was his mother. Finally, he was the dad. It was only when he wanted to close the door that I remembered what I used to do when I was a little girl playing house with a boy. Know of any monasteries that would take a 7-year-old Jewish boy?
Your writtings really brighten my day. I too remember playing house as a child. *snicker* I'm sure that your children will appriciate having all their childhood moments recorded to refresh them when they are older. My mother tried to do the same for me and I am greatful at having all the silly moments to hear again.
