Goodness, if she is anything like her old mom, that girl is probably so lost in her thoughts. At four and a half it's been difficult to truly pin down whats giving her anxiety, but every once and a while we are able to have these brilliant discussions about BIG life things and it just clicks and feels so right. Her face lights up. It's so amazing to see them grow, not only physically, but emotionally and intellectually. Loving this so.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351347084059985465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19766666724444291.post-79415238177459547172016-02-08T20:56:20.004-05:002016-02-08T20:56:20.004-05:00What a thoughtful post.

It has become something of a joke in my family - like, of course G would remember that. Part of it i'm sure is that writing hones my memory and observation skills, and once I have written something down it sort of preserves the memory its referring to as well as things/feelings/happenings surrounding the moment when I wrote it. <br /><br />And as a matter of fact my goal for 2016 is to get out of my head a bit more, and stop over analysing so many things and just accept there are many things I can't change.. here's to letting it be! xGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17037971025575125609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19766666724444291.post-77467104072511950732016-02-04T21:13:27.611-05:002016-02-04T21:13:27.611-05:00I started late and did a giant marathon of DTA a f...I started late and did a giant marathon of DTA a few months ago...

And how can people black out their entire childhoods?! I am finally starting to forget a few details (all that sleep deprivation and motherhood stuff), but I still remember way too much :)Mama Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17489450713167896817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19766666724444291.post-71560879706795007382016-02-03T23:21:16.724-05:002016-02-03T23:21:16.724-05:00P.S.

There are things that happen, our contact with the world, but the ability to think, understand, even worry, to recognize something as awesome or great or awful or even see ourselves as an observer is just what makes me happy to be human.

I have also experienced all of the strange death questions from my oldest, and I think he was about the same age when it started -- completely normal (albeit disturbing at times), age appropriate questions. I think he is also comforted by the scientific explanations, as am I. And also the same dynamic with Andrew -- he remembers nothing from his childhood whereas I feel like it was yesterday!
