The many expressions of Sylvia

My Sylvie-girl is amazing.  She’s dramatic and a shining, gregarious star.  She sometimes gets shy and unhappy if people look at her or comment about her.  She sparkles and spins and illuminates the room.  She demands an audience.  And she needs time to herself to recover from life’s small injustices.
Here, she was putting on a dance show for me.  She requested photography.07-13-11_028

Love this picture of her open face.

I love how she can channel some of her intensity.  She’s so self-contained in this picture.  That, right there, is my girl.

While Sylvie was putting on this show, I was sitting on the sofa next to Andrew, who was reading books and applauding alongside me.

Boy do I feel lucky to get to see my kids do their thing and grow into themselves.  Hugs to both of them:)
