she teaches me

eleanor jane, 9 1/2 months

each day, she moves me with her inquisitive, gentle ways. the simple joys in learning something new punctuate our days. she laughs and i feel my heart (literally, i feel it) open up more than i ever thought possible yet again. and when we explore the world, she watches, soaking it all up. those big blue eyes take it all in, and i think about how perhaps my role is to invite her to (never, ever) forget all that she already knows.

Yes, this is what our little ones do.. they open us up, and quite frankly make us more human, no? What an absolutely beautiful little guide you have for this wondrous journey...

Ah, but part of being human is forgetting most of what you were born knowing.
