Grace and Olivia

My baby (accompanied by me) skipped to Emigration Market, picked out salad stuff (broccoli, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, purple cabbage, mushrooms), came home and cut up all the vegetables, and made a salad all by herself. She would not let me help. When she doesn't feel like being the baby, she's rather helpful and independent. I kept telling her not to cut off her fingers with the sharp knife. The truth is, she was totally in control - I wasn't.

When I told Grace that I was going to start calling her "Sunshine", Olivia said, "and let me guess . . . you want to call me Rain". I told her yes, that was quite an appropriate name for her, and that I love rain just as much as sunshine - really. I hope she believes me, because it is absolutely true.
