Today I was out in the yard with Edward and I showed him how to make wishes by blowing the fluff off. He wasn't really interested in what I wanted to show him and I thought he hadn't watched, but the next thing I knew he was picking up fluffy dandelions and trying to blow them. He would hold them at arm's length and blow his little heart out, confused that it wasn't working. I would try to help him, but he would give me a dirty look and keep doing it his way, then tear the little weed to pieces.
When he gives me looks like this he reminds me of Ethne. She loved blowing dandelions. She loved flowers, butterflies, dresses, and everything girly. Edward is a whole new adventure. He is such a boy. So busy, loves cars, balls, and climbing. I love my little boy. He is so perfect. But I miss Ethne and I miss her girly-ness. So I am making wishes that I will have girly again, just as Edward is surely wishing for more dirt, balls, and cars.

Every time we see dandelions, and there are lots of them in the fields here, we think happy thoughts of Ethne and Edward.
