it's been a while since a sleep over.   She and i alone,   time.    Each time she's different…her changes evident because of the singularity of us.   This time,  again.   Her conversations are paragraphs instead of sentences.  She has complex questions.  

Where did you grow up?   Where  is Michigan?   What is a state?   In between things there is singing….just rising up…she makes up the words…foreign languages.   I don't comment,  don't want her to become self conscious about this…i love it.   so BeautyFull.   and for the first time,  swinging was Swinging.   not an "activity" of being swung.   i have a rope tied to it.  Sit and keep it moving by pulling the rope.   Again,  singing.   And just free association,  her own thoughts and observations of the things around us,  the day itself…the feeling of it.    A really long time.  More than an hour.   closer to two.

    Such a gifted and special times to have with Emrie…how she observes, how wise you are to let her essence simply be.
    Our grandchildren are such gifts: I too had a singer, Rowie would sing out during the day, totally immersed in her singing. Spencer before he became known as Wolf, was our dancer…inherited my dancing genes. Luckily, Rowie did not inherit my singing genes- you can only listen to a froggy voice for so long…!
    And I do hope you will consider the pomegranate flower photo for one of your note cards. The color just sings of joy.
