“Patience is the companion of wisdom.” Saint Augustine Pip and Fig both have miserable colds at the moment. Neither of them are sleeping well, which means that I, too, am overtired. By about 4:00 pm yesterday, I noticed that my patience was disappearing. Pip was riding her new bike in […] “Human beings, like plants, grow in the soil of acceptance, not in the atmosphere of rejection.” John Powell Fig worships Pip. Not only does she mimic everything Pip says and does, but she also likes to give Pip little gifts. Especially gifts of food. If Fig is given a piece […] “The great gift of human beings is that we have the power of empathy.” Meryl Streep The drawback of those great stainless-steel water-bottles for kids is the weight. Today Fig was enjoying a nice sip of H2O in the kitchen, when she dropped her water-bottle on her middle toe. The stainless=steel edge […] “Tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much pressure is laid on it.” Albert Smith Pip seems to cry a lot in the late afternoon.

Our second visit to Daisytree was a shortened morning session in which all of the kids and parents met for a short time to get acquainted. […] “The art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on.” — Havelock Ellis I completely underestimated the loveliness of Lily, (the name I’ll give Pip’s teacher,) and her gorgeous pre-school, (which I’ve chosen to call Daisytree.) Two weeks ago I wrote, (at great length, […] “Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success.” Henry Ford Last month I wrote about Pip helping out with chores around the house. I posted photos of her folding laundry, rolling pizza dough and stacking wood.
