ramona will be 5 years old at the end of this week. that's kind of a big birthday. that's the official arrival to kid-age. and she is so there. in fact, just last week, she went down the big sledding hill solo for her first sledding run of the year. she has never gone down the big hill alone before, but didn't hesitate a second when we got there. and when she flew off the sled after hitting a bump at the bottom? she was all thumbs up and laughter, pulled the sled back up the hill and did it all over again. i was speechless. my first baby is suddenly, officially, a big smart robust kid testing the waters of solo adventure and self-recovery. i....just....wow. she's the best.
there she goes.
little body, fast sled, thin snow.
my view of the action, over the shoulders of james, the happiest little grump in the world.
and later, there were 3, all corralled, shepherded, and then expertly guided down the hill by the big kid in the bunch.
