The Chatter: Rescue

This morning Maia and Ruby and I woke up before the sun to the pitter patter of rain on the roof.

I immediately opened all the windows and emptied the house of it's lingering summer remnants.

Today feels like fall and I'm full of gratitude.

Friday is a hard day for me, it's incredibly long and intense and leaves me drained and a bit unraveled.

However, this morning I realized how lucky I am to have such balance in my life.

My work is often overwhelming and taxing, but leaves me eager to play play with my children.

And then just when my children empty my reserves of patience, I get to go to work and be with adults.

I'm grateful for that.

Anyway, this post wasn't meant to be about me, but about the cute conversation that happened between my kids this morning as they were playing nicely together.

Ruby was dressed in a pink princess dress, when suddenly Maia said "I want to rescue someone! Ruby, can I rescue you?"
It took some convincing, but finally Ruby agreed to be rescued.

Maia put on her ladybug wings and headband.

"Ok Ruby, what kind of rescuing do you need? Fire or emergency?"

"Emergency."

"What kind of emergency? Broken leg? Cat stuck in a tree? or what?"

"Twirling."

"Twirling emergency? Ok!"

At this point I interjected. "Maia, what's a twirling emergency?"

"You know, when you can't twirl!"

And she was off to rescue her sister.

Happy weekend and may all your emergencies be of the twirling variety.
