Navigating the hilly terrain of motherhood

IMG_0029

Yesterday as I walked down the stairs, the strap on my beloved blue Crocs suddenly broke, causing me to trip and land with a big thud. This morning Grace noticed the loose strap, and decided she'd like to repair it for me. "I'm a good fixer," she said. She triumphantly returned a couple of minutes later, with the errant strap painstakingly Scotch-taped back onto the shoe. Very sweet, but not particularly effective. However, I find it adorable that Grace firmly believes that anything can be fixed — or created — using Scotch tape. She very clearly gets this from my grandfather, Gran-Gran, who was well known for his ability to fix — or create — anything using epoxy. Gran-Gran and Grace would have gotten along famously.

    You are right! She has already taken an interest in duct tape. She asked me the other day why it is called “duck tape.” I explained the real name to her, then promptly hid it in the basement.
