on being willow worrell's mother: month 2 & 3

being willow worrell's mother means making sure to wind up the music box or sing her a song while i try to change her nappy because i know that she just needs a little music to relax.

being willow worrell's mother means knowing just the right time to feed her because i know that she is just like her daddy, and her hungry/happy window is pretty much non existent.

being willow worrell's mother means having a dark place prepared for her to take a nap in because i know that its absurd to try to let her fall asleep on her own in any hint of light.

being willow worrell's mother means singing to her loud and often because i know that she loves to sing loud right back. she is a soprano, you know.

being willow worrell's mother means always being prepared to do just about everything with one hand because i know that most of the time, she needs the other one.

being willow worrell's mother means making sure to ask her many important questions about her day because i know that she has a lot to say, and would like to say it very dramatically.

being willow worrell's mother means showing her the girl in the mirror when she is upset or bored because i know that she can never be upset or bored when she looks at the girl in the mirror. she can only laugh.

being willow worrell's mother means knowing that if the girl in the mirror is upset then it must be a very serious matter because i know that she is never as happy as when she sees the girl in the mirror.

being willow worrell's mother means counting every single one of her rolls and praising their plentifulness because i know that one day they will disappear and i will regret it very much if they are not appropriately admired.

(month 1)
