I've always loved taking care of children, but I have to say, I never enjoyed a baby (other than my own) more than I enjoyed little Miss Nina Rose. She radiates such trust and delight, so easy to "read" her needs and satisfy them. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every second of caring for her! I think Annie did too. Which surprises me a bit. Babies can be hard work. Not Nina though. Such a wonderful little gal. I guess it's really the first time I've taken care of a little one since Annie was born and maybe the experience of being a mom shifted how open I can be to a child. And maybe how much I surrender and really connect. I just know I loved being with her and Annie, and that we'll miss her.
Babies are so amazing. I was never a baby person until I had a baby. Now I can see what the fuss is all about. I notice babies like I never did before. You all seem so happy together.
I was born on April 1st in Berkeley, California. I'm enjoying a life full of satisfaction and challenge alongside my dear friend and partner, Bill, and our almost twelve year-old daughter, Annie. We have a great house and garden that we share with two dogs, nine canaries, and three fire bellied toads. We are choosing a path of living that holds everyone's needs as precious and equal. We're loving an unschooling approach to education for Annie and ourselves. We're trying to live a life with the least amount of negative impact to the enviornment. One way we're doing that is we're really trying to be mindful about what we buy, how we travel, and how we care for ourselves. I will post my ideas, challenges, and celebrations for doing so on this blog. I would love to hear any of yours too!
