Home Sick

Spending hours with a surprisingly gentle seven year old with an ear infection is teaching me a lot. First, watching Barbi cartoons is heart warming; second, this particular girl is growing her incredibly thick chestnut hair for locks-of-love; third, I have been told that with practice it's possible to perfect anything.

Perhaps, I've been listening to the wrong people. It's possible that with selfless love, practice, and a healthy dose of sunsets everything is perfect.

We also sorted through her homework, detangled those locks she's growing to donate,  and talked over the horse gossip from her riding academy (Duke broke out to visit Seven, really???). This helps me realize that we all encounter encouragement as long as our eyes are open.
