We began W2WD today — Week 2 Without Daddy.  It’s amazing how quickly the measure of a successful day shifts.  Selah June and I ate a little bit, pottied a little bit, bathed a little bit, cried a little bit, and slept a very very little bit.

BUT!!!!!

We did have some little sparks that flew throughout the day.  There were signs that we are growing day-by-day into an alert, inquisitive, expressive little bear.  Selah June sat in her swing for a few minutes, looking at the little birds flying above.  She took to a pacifier tonight.  In fact!  Miss Satie Isabella gave her a new pacifier – the kind she used to use – and she kept in her mouth for at least 10 minutes.  We were shocked!  And again, during the witching hour, SJ enjoyed a pacifier for about 10 minutes…. and we enjoyed the quiet.

She’s growing up – in little ways one day at a time.
