When things change drastically around here, my younger daughter regresses. I find it sweet at times and annoying at other times. We' re getting ready to go on vacation and so she is sleeping in her sister's bed, carrying her blankie around (cleverly disguised as a pillow) and walking here and there with her long-time stuffed monkey-pal. All of that is fine but it's the baby talk that I find the most objectionable. I am so used to having this smart, saucy and bright almost 9 year old around that when the 3 year old shows up, I am flummoxed. When you add to it the stress of packing everything for everyone, ensuring all our critters are cared for (50 chickens and 2 of just about everything else) and that home and business will be taken care of while we are away and it seems totally over the top. My older daughter enjoys seeing her little sister like this--- it makes her laugh. Anyway, today that is what I am going to do. Just smile, chuckle, maybe even laugh....because tomorrow I will be on the beach in Mexico with 3 of my most favourite people and what could be better than that?
