A more beautiful 4 year old little girly never existed, I think. And that means i've been reading your blog for TWO years. And now blog because of that, somewhat. I really like what you said here a lot- it seems like a beautiful integration of a lot of things you (and the rest of us) have been mulling over for some time. Happy Birthday Madison!

It’s not the same as dismissing her experience; it’s a different emphasis" I am in a very similar place. It's too new and visceral for me to be able to lay it out in a narrative -- but I really get what you mean here. BlueJ turns 5 tomorrow and this has been a month of introspection for me. In part because I have been going through the photos to make an album for her, And *that* is challenging because of the back-and-foth history we have. We have huge gaps, yk? “This is a subtle paradigm shift for me but an important one. It’s not the same as dismissing her experience; it’s a different emphasis”
