Here, rumpled and cluttery is a great sign that living, learning, and fun are happening here. <br /><br />Already, Jeremiah is growing up, starting to take at least a general interest in girls - which will almost certainly lead to less rumpledness...<br /><br />These are fleeting times, and I love the beauty in their rumpledness! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-84348871387573651212012-04-28T00:59:48.801-04:002012-04-28T00:59:48.801-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-7635321790377329012012-04-28T00:41:11.382-04:002012-04-28T00:41:11.382-04:00Darlene -

We know we're biased, but - <br /><br />I have taken a lot of flak from my white-sock and perfectly combed family of origin.<br /><br />I say that the most important thing anyone can wear is a simple zest for an delight in living.<br /><br />Both children currently have blue X's dyed into their hair, and that same sparkle in their eyes! <br /><br />It makes me happy to hear from other Moms who raised or are raising rumply, tumbly, happy offspring. =DShan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-78921298237925123542012-04-28T00:34:08.848-04:002012-04-28T00:34:08.848-04:00Sherri - I am so sorry I didn't see your post...Sherri - I am so sorry I didn't see your post before now...<br /><br />They are tidy more often these days, but still joyful and wonderful people. =)<br /><br />I'm glad you made it here, too, and hope you will return!Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-91156825182716704322012-04-28T00:30:12.063-04:002012-04-28T00:30:12.063-04:00Lillinda -

Proof of childhood. That period is all too fleeting, so I let him embrace it fully.

And it is inspiring and buoying to read the Moms and Dads others are, and see my self or a better self I'd like to be reflected there.<br /><br />Sylvia - Yup, that's Jeremiah to a T. His long blonde curls, like my darker ones, tend toward wildness (actually, we all tend toward wildness here!). He changes clothes only when HE is uncomfortable in them - very often, 4 or more days. He's not that keen on toothbrushing, either. <br /><br />But when he decides to do these things, he really does immerse himself in the experience. After, he is thrilled to be clean and fresh again. I have no interest at all in taking that from him.Shan Jeniah Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757607146774769663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-57926835472500477462010-07-27T01:22:04.589-04:002010-07-27T01:22:04.589-04:00Yep, I'm that Mom too.

Whose long hair often looks like he just woke from a nap following a wild party. <br /><br />Thanks for pointing out that there's so much more gong on inside our rumpled kids than others folks see!Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930798447118770935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813909.post-75855353861329425902010-07-27T01:14:53.808-04:002010-07-27T01:14:53.808-04:00Wonderful.
