We grow old in fits and starts, it’s not a linear progression. I don’t know why but I stay looking the same age for about two years and then one day I suddenly look three years older and then I plateau for a time and on it goes. I’ve just noticed we grow up in fits and starts too. I gave Lauca a day in the city with me for her ninth birthday. She skipped school and went to my salon for an encounter with my very good looking, perfectionist hairdressers. Then she ate sushi in my office while I tended to something urgent before we strolled together through an art gallery for the afternoon and finally, off to dinner in a restaurant with my family. I think she turned into a teenager in the process.
When I started this blog Lauca was not quite two years old. As with all change I seem to feel both happy and sad about that.
In the lift at my work.
And at the art gallery. Right now Lauca is fascinated with European history so this exhibition was perfect.
She is gorgeous. What a lovely way to spend a birthday.
Getting so grown up, and I covet those glasses. Happy birthday Lauca!
Happy birthday, Lauca!
A++ haircut! And I too dig the glasses. Sounds like a pretty perfect birthday celebration too.
