We all need a little structure, a little routine.

Babies need routine in order to feel secure. If their world is predictable they just do better. I think we all do better if we have a basic structure to our lives. There are limits of course. Adventure and excitement are what makes life interesting and meaningful, but a predictable routine is the foundation that the adventure is built upon. Today was not a routine day. The usual eat, change, sleep and play was interrupted. We were having new doors put on our house (remember the break in?). I had to meet the builders at 9:00 so I loaded Kate into the car along with an extra bed and two bags of stuff. I had to wake her up to get there on time. Then they cancelled on me. Meanwhile Kate was great. She was very patient despite being hungry and needing a change. People say patience is a virtue. I think it is missing in our society today. We all have something to learn from Kate. Here is a picture of her looking a bit worried during the crazy day we had.

I love you Kate.
