visited it today - nice to reminisce and see how much has changed over time, and how little has changed.
littlebean sits through meals now but still makes a nightly move to mommy & daddy's bed. still burrows & cuddles as much as she can.
bean is practically grown up at 7 but we have to keep reminding ourselves that despite her composure, maturity and self-restraint, she's still a kid. a smart, wise, patient & lovely kid but still a kid nonetheless, membership in the club of childhood still intact.
beanmom now sings in a small touring opera company; will be in her first short film (student production) and her first feature-length indie film is set to shoot this summer. i'm embroiled in the same boring mental struggle as every actor before me (do i join the union? now? wait a bit? am i ready? will all the work go away? is it time to change agents? stay put?)
just grateful that everyone is healthy at the moment. we are all finding things to do that we enjoy each day and spending time together every day in some way. i'm liking who the beans are turning out to be and hoping that these days of wonder last and last and last.
