this morning

lying in bed
you lift your tiny hand
to catch the stream of sunlight
that passes overhead
chubby fingers pass through air
you try again
there's nothing there
your sister laughs
"he's trying to catch the sun"

Why I love parenting magazines...

...because I learn great tricks like pouring maple syrup on snow, letting it harden and eating it, because I found the world's best tomato soup recipe with grilled cheese croutons that even I can make, because I get to hear other mommy stories and have my questions answered by M.D.'s, and because they sometimes bring up things that I might disagree with but can hear another voice and, because I can read a snippet here and there between being a mommy.
Unfortunately, I just learned that "Wondertime" one of my FAVORITE parenting magazines is going the way of my previous favorite which was "Violet" magazine. Damn economy!
