i have to say that today has been one of my favorite days in forever. i absolutely adore my baby, and when i say what i am about to say, it has no reflection on her. but, the baby slept for an almost three hour nap today, and it was one of the best three hours M and i have had in forever! first, we played yahtzee for a while, then we set up the sewing machine and computer, and got to work. After many videos on youtube and reading through the manuals a few times, my amazing four-year-old and i learned how to sew! It was so fun to work side by side with her, and i'm pretty sure that she will remember this day for years to come; i know i will forever. we stared diligently at the computer, rewinding when the steps got confusing. M asked questions that forced me to figure out the answers. So with her help (she has much better eyes and aim for small threading holes) and with my patience, we somehow figured out how to use the godforsaken machine! now, tonight, after i sign off, i need to actually learn how to aim, stay straight, and keep up with the machine! but, i think we'll have no problem being bumblebees by tuesday! horray!
i love the fact that M and i share so many interests and now that every day she is getting more and more able to actually sit down and do things with me. we laughed, and i almost cried (several times with the damn bobbin) and we created a lot of fun designs on our pillow case! we just had so much fun! i hope that our sewing adventures continue and that through the years i can teach her many more things about what i know and enjoy, as i know that she'll be teaching me a lot in the many years to come!
I love you, MAK, you sweet and smart and wonderful girl!
