Affirmation

I have struggled quite a bit with the decision to take Geneva out of daycare for the summer (as if you couldn't tell from my previous "gushing post" about the end of daycare).  I realize maybe it is usually the opposite- many times I hear moms admitting feelings of guilt about their need or decision to work and send the kiddos to daycare.  For me- as long as I have always had a few extra days with Geneva per week, I have felt like I was doing the best for her by having her involved in a structured program.  As I embark on full-time stay-at-home-motherhood, I have been concerned about whether or not I can provide her with a similar level of stimulation, education, and social involvement that she has previously received.

This morning, before we were headed out to pick blackberries, she began singing, "Everyday, I love my baby mommy.  Everyday, I love you.  Everyday, I love playing with you. Everyday, I love reading with you.  Everyday, I love leaving with you."

That is pretty much all I need.

Here are some scenes from the past few days:

28 pounds of apricots and 4 pounds of cherries.

Lawn concert.

She is loving gymnastics!

Tour of the police station.


Yesterday, Geneva touched a python and a large lizard!
