birthdays, etc.

I'm officially exhausted after this weekend. A neighbor's party Friday night. A trip to the Virginia Living Museum yesterday. Friends and wine in the backyard last night. The pool, birthday time, and good food today.

Banana is now five. It's a great age. The know-it-all-ness, the arguing, the willfulness, the sometimes-hilarious reasoning. It's all great, really. still, all of the fun moments and all of the new developments really do make it all fun.

And now we have a massive dollhouse. And soon we will have frogs. This is my life.

A smart child and a messed-up back.
