Lunar Discoveries July 7, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : Kids, In A Family Way , 2 commentsI am in North Carolina, on the edge of the Smokey Mountains. We are visiting my parents in their "rustic" mountain home ( apparently, in North Carolina, rustic means "the contractor can skimp on straight pieces of wood and say But it is rustic!")
This is a Luna and Mommy trip. I did this trip with Soleil when she was 3. It went a bit differently. Mostly because Luna is a daddy girl and Soleil is a mommy girl. A 5 am flight (yes, we left our house a 3:30) and away we went.
I am starting to discover more about my little girl once I get her away from her sister. She is very expressive. We found a lollipop at Cracker Barrel yesterday (side note: do the people in the south eat anywhere else?) and she took a deep breath and said "Oh this is a wonderful lollipop!" She has had a few moments where she needs Daddy. She has asked to fly home to daddy a few times, but right now she is making Monkey bread with Grandma and having a ball.
We watched Poppa feed the local cows some carrots. She was beyond amazed. Today, we are going to take her to the Smokeys. I can’t wait.
I can’t describe all of the little nuances I am discovering about Luna, but despite the separation she is making huge strides in finding herself as a person instead of just being Soleil’s little sister.
