In this 3rd life of mine, after my own childhood and youth, after raising three daughters and a son, I am the Nana. Now I spend two days a week in the company of this little girl and I am so grateful. She delights me and exhausts me. She keeps me moving and makes me grateful for the comfort of my favorite armchair after she is chauffeured home, calling “Bye-Bye” out the open car window and waving until I am out of sight. She turns my house upside down, scattering toys and books and stuffed animals in every room, and she chases my cat. But she also gives kisses and holds my hand and insists on falling asleep on my chest when she naps. Like her 6-year-old sister, she owns me heart and soul and she is turning 2 today. We celebrated by going to @auntiesbooks to pick out a birthday book. She won’t remember this day, the trip downtown and sitting in a little chair to turn the pages of Dream Animals by #emilywinfieldmartin, but I will. Happy Birthday, Baby B. Your Nana loves you.
