Gratuitous cute toddler photo warning!

Recently our family has been listening for Lydia’s new itty bitty words like “feets” and shiz” (shoes) and “nuz” (nose). She’s naming the world as she discovers it. This allows us to see things anew and requires us to slow down and pay attention the way she does.

When people ask me how I can possibly handle having four kids, I guess I understand it on some level, but how could they look at this face and ask that question? She’s the FOURTH and she makes us all so happy and wiser.
