The minutes pass like hours

Remember when you were a little kid, and how s-l-o-w the days went right before Christmas? Remember how slow the days went when you were the parent of an excited little kid?

Well, Nova is still too young to really know what Christmas is all about. Wait until next year. The nice thing about being two years old is you take each minute as it comes and enjoy it (or not.) It's a natural Zen-like state, without all the meditation and effort it takes later in lfe. I will say that two year old "lows" can be very low indeed, but they pass quickly (mercifully for all.)

Yesterday we went out shopping near home, and I was impressed how good Nova was in the crammed stores. She wanted to show us things, but she didn't necessarily have to have them. Good job Tom and Amanda.

There was another first for Nova in Seattle-- lunch at our favorite Pho soup restaurant and the Zen-like consumption of noodles and her very first cream puff. I have a feeling it won't be the last.
