One of these things is not like the others.......... Oh, Lizzy! You truly are the rose amongst the thorns (or vice versa depending upon the day) on our little stretch of the neighborhood. The neighborhood is teeming with kids, they are literally pouring out of the houses and into the streets, and they're awesome, they're just all........boys! Thank goodness for you! You can be rough and tumble and keep right up with them, tearing down the street on your scooter and giving me a heart attack. But you can also be quiet and calm, discovering tiny pockets of nature we didn't know existed, content in your own skin to play in your own wonderful, imaginary world. On my favorite days, you can cuddle right up to my side, have conversation with the other mommies, or take somebody's little brother under your wing and gently play a sweet game with them. You are just what we all need to add a touch of sanity to a sometimes insane stretch of cement.
