last night, maya solicited some help in building a 'rainbow fort'. now, mind you, this is an often requested activity here at our house and there is no telling exactly how many rainbow forts have been constructed, organized, outfitted, played/lived in, and then deconstructed...with every item being carefully put away until the next time. it's all about creating that special 'dwelling' space. that special 'home'...
some of my favorite memories as a child are of making these kinds of 'forts' to play in. i remember one time in particular when my parents let my twin sister and i create a huge fort out of the entire living room area in our house. what magical and timeless memories. i relish the thought that maya is creating those same kinds of memories each and every day.
here's to the joy and magic that is childhood...
