Letters to Genevieve - grass.


your first time to sit in grass
and you didn't like it much.
it was prickly against your soft bare skin 
you pulled your knees up and your toes curled 
as if somehow this would help you escape the grass below.

your first encounter with grass was not very successful
but there is always tomorrow.


as quickly as grammy set you on the grass you turned my direction
your helpless look and questioning stare bore into me as if to ask:
is this ok mom?

She is so cute. Even crying she's a doll.

I love your little letters. I need to start doing something like this too with my kiddos. You're just so inspiring.
