Speaking of quiet time (see comments from yesterday’s post). After quiet time a few days ago, I walked into Liv’s room and discovered her in this exact position. Ninety degree + humidity weather is no time for tight-wearing, but Livia had discovered the basket full of socks on her dresser—and used the bear pillow pictured to reach said basket—and tight-wearing she was. I think I initially said something like, “Oh. Nice outfit!” and then she pointed to the black tights on her head and told me that they didn’t fit. I wanted to point out that the white tights didn’t fit either (the crotch was at her knees when she stood up) and that her solution for the black tights was perfect, but I was so delighted by her getup that I grabbed my camera and called Jeremy in instead.
I love the way little kids dress. LOVE it. As a parent, it’s fun to step out of the way and let your kid get creative.

Absolutely adorable! And I’m so glad you caught it on film. :-)

Oh, God works in mysterious ways. I think she has Gr.Grandma Iola’s creative genes in her…said her Nana.

I feel like I haven’t commented in FOREVER. What a fun picture of Liv! :)
Read your last post today, too — I was writing the exact same things in my journal today: “Lord, there is TOO MUCH TO DO!” I always feel like there is some time that will hit and the stuff with disappear (summertime, moving, new schedule, vacation, etc) — but the stuff remains: want to do this project, the kid wants to do that thing, laundry, cooking, need to call this person, etc. Its VERY difficult to come to God amidst all that and attempt to let it go.. wow.. Help us, Lord!
