One face

I went over to the apartment swimming pool for the first time today!  It's actually very nice.  They had a relatively shallow pool for children and a big one for bigger people.  Lainey and her Daddy got in the smaller one and she had a great time.

Of course she has a great time just walking down the sidewalk.  Every flower, every bush, every person who walks by receives all her attention.  She smiles and says, "Hi."  Then she smiles some more and waves bye bye until they disappear.  In fact, she would be happy to follow them waving bye bye if we let her.

I love this age.  She is totally un-self-conscious.  There are no mysteries in life yet.  There are only things that make her smile and things that make her cry and sometimes the dividing line is only whether or not Daddy is within sight.

I doubt if most of us can even remember when one face made everything in the world okay, but if you can then you are truly blessed.
