Moon

I use my iPhone a lot. I stick it in my back pocket because I love documenting all the fleeting moments in our day. But sometimes a picture does not speak a thousand words. The words and phrases that Edie is starting to share with me, well I wish I could capture them as easily as our photos. I have so many thoughts about her growth but haven't written much on the blog. I'm not a natural writer so everything takes time. Maybe for now I'll have to accept some mediocre writing but at least the notes are here and documented.

Edie is 19 months and loves the moon. She normally speaks with a super feminine and gentle voice, but as soon as she sees the moon, she pushes up all the air from her lungs and shouts: "MOOOON!!". After she's dressed in her pjs and sleep sack, daddy takes her out to say good night to the moon.

A crescent moon in the dark of night, a wispy moon near dusk, ha, even an illustrated moon in a book conjures up the same excitement. Seeing my child all lit up for the bright night light is definitely a parenting high.





Moonshot is definitely Edie's favourite book. We "read it" in Chinese for her. I have to buy a copy because she and I love this library book. I found some "behind the scenes" notes on the book. Cool!
