i guess it was my idea to wear crazy clothes….i thought it was naomi’s.
in this discipline of mine to allow her to find her own way, i shuddered a bit. she gave me a detailed memory of the day that she said she would wear crazy clothes to the roller rink and i said, “what do you think about everyone wearing crazy clothes?”
i guess it was my idea.
we had a wonderful time with friends skating in a space that looks exactly like it did in the 70s (we know that because some of the adults were skating there as junior high kids!!!).
we ate and listened to a mixed tape…er, CD…and skated round and round and round (except for eliza who ran)…
after the roller skating party naomi said it was “cool” to have friends who will wear anything and grown ups who will be with the kids.
i agree.
i will take cupcakes to preschool tomorrow…and then our birthday celebrations are officially complete.

I’m glad that Naomi thinks it is cool to be with all of you. Remember that on the days she forgets.

I feel like I travelled back in time! Isn’t it wonderful when your kids tell you exactly how they are feeling right at the moment they are feeling it? Do you know what I mean? I love it when they are in the moment and they know just how wonderful that moment is! Happy Birthday!

I love going to that skating rink growing up. I bet it still smells the same, like sweaty feet.
