Stroller shot

Yesterday we put the pictures from our trip to Coney Island on the computer. There is one of Eliza smiling at Ryan, though you can't see Ryan in the shot. She looks so alert and excited, and sharp. I wonder if that's going to be part of her personality––there is something sharp about her - she's strong and quick and emphatic in her great curiosity and love for the world. I almost never worry about her, and I don't know if that's because of her age, her position in the family... I find myself agonizing over Max - am I doing things that will make him happy, and make him into a good person. I wonder if I will always feel so clear headed about Eliza.

Somehow, I imagine not.
