so when i was 12 or so, i loved the movie, war games. loved it.
and it was so absolutely absurd and unbelievable that you could play games with strangers on a computer somewhere else in the world.
totally science fiction.
that was only 21 years before gemma was born.
last night, like most nights, gemma played math games online. she played against kids in other places in the world. it is normal.
no big deal.
totally mainstream.
yet, it is mind blowing when i stop to think about it. what is the world going to look like in another (mere) 21 years?
gemma went as Matilda for her school book week character day. and that slight smile is hiding her first ever wobbly tooth.
come on tooth fairy, we are ready.
clover finally has enough hair for a ponytail. a wispy, straggly, wish of a ponytail. i wonder how old she will be when she gets her first haircut.
kieran has found that he has pockets and like the littlest of tiny men, stands around with his fat baby hands shoved into them..
but at the end of the day, they are still all my babies.
we are just gearing up to enter the tooth fairy phase…bring it on!
i realized she has really grown up lately. holy cow.
she is wearing tops made for 7 year old girls.
my little beautiful young lady.
sidenote: if you are going to see me speak with the awesome mishelle and lotus at blogher, this is one of the “after” shot that you may see.
had to shoot something for the book last night at sunset and gemma was our model. while we were setting up the shot, she waited…and looked like such a grown girl.

i wished right back that her life would be full of days that were so wonderful she was left wanting a rewind button.
