Sydney at the Beach

Here is Sydney at Leo Carillo beach on May 23, 2004. Going to the beach is one of her favorite things, along with chocolate milk, jellybeans, cooking with her me, and asking "what are we doing next."

Lately Sydney has really started to take interest in cooking with me, espcially at breakfast. We cook eggs and toast most often. This past week she's added to her breakfast cooking routine the demand that I sit down with her at the table to eat. Of course, these are very precious words to me and I know that it will be a short time when those words will be hoped for but not heard. Reflecting on this make me feel silly when I think that I have hesitated to sit with her because I would be a few mintes late to work. I really just need to make it a habit to get up 30 minutes earlier so that I don't feel that pressure.
