We took today real sloooow. For the past couple weeks Lydia and I have been doing daily tutoring sessions, and afterward we relax–either together or apart, depending on how exhausting the tutoring felt. Today went really well, so afterward I watched\u00a0The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe<\/em> with her. It turns out Lydia adores “scary” movies. Witches, goblins, and all sorts of dark creatures seem to capture her imagination much more than anything else.<\/p>\n

Mary likes scary stuff too. She often tells me in the morning that she had a “scary” dream the night before. \u00a0The other day she told me that witches came and stole her binkies during her nightmare. She hit the witches with a stick and got her binkies back. I like that her dreams always end with Mary vanquishing her scary foes, either by hitting them with sticks…or worse. Again, I think we probably talk too freely and too often about death in this family.<\/p>\n

We went out to the mall for a short outing this evening, and then we came back home, ate dinner, and spent more time together. All in all, it was a lovely, slow way to start this year.<\/p>\n

Frankly, I am frightened about the pace of the next couple months. I have restaurant this quarter, and that means longer hours three nights a week, not counting homework. Today was the last day of Abe’s vacation, and he’s also heading into busy waters at work. I get stressed out just thinking about the next ten weeks, but I’m trying to make up for it by taking it slow until school starts again.<\/p>\n

Here are today’s pictures:<\/p>\n

Abe was the prince, and the girls were both Elsa. (Well, Mary was a cross between Elsa and some sort of fairy.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
