We're in the not-as-cold-as-it-should-be-this-time-of-year North. I've already done some visiting, met a baby who has been in my heart forever but actually arrived shortly after our last visit to PA. I've taken part in some traditions. It's been good. Exhausting (already!) but good.
One of my favorite things already is the time I've spent with my little niece, Shwayler. She comes to me, says she wants to sew something. Okay. "An ornament, please." We do our little guessing game we do where I ask specific questions and hope that I'll be able to deal with the answers. Questions like, "What color do you want it to be" while hoping she picks red, green, or gray, as those are the only colors I have. "What shape do you want to make it?" knowing that I cannot, in fact, draw Dora to save my life, hoping desperately she picks something she won't be disappointed with. "A star" is her answer. Whew. Safe. There are 4 new ornaments on the tree now. She's proud of them, and thinks I'm an amazing "sew-er" and great at wrapping presents, too. My heart is so full.
