Her first concern once she's properly on her feet is making sure we're all engaging in appropriately adulent applause.

Freeze-Frame: Four Years Old and on the Lookout

Today at breakfast there was a lull in conversation and a contemplative expression stole over Tadhg's face. 

"I'm wondering how I'm going to choose a wife. I think I might need to find her in this many days (holding up five fingers)."

Knowing all too well how arbitrary such numbers are at Tadhg's age, I replied, "Oh. So do you need to find her soon, or a while from now?"

"Soon." 

We chatted soberly about what Tadhg felt was important in a wife. 

Brief pause.

"But, Mama, I might need to borrow your wedding dress for my wife to wear."

Sheesh. 

How fast they grow.
