Mommy (she prefers this name but hasn’t convinced Dada and Austen yet) is always inspired by Austen’s enthusiasm — if not always by her rowdy behavior. It’s fascinating to watch her. Everything she chooses to do is done with such spirit and interest on her part. Checking out a dog on the street. Trying to find the moon. Counting the number of blue cars in sight. Today, when she finally got into soccer class, she pushed around the goal and kicked the ball in a way that was always exciting to watch.
