heron has entered "the princess phase" of a girl's childhood. she wouldn't let me take an actual portrait, but here she is in her favorite pink "princess" dress (inherited from the older girls across the street, along with other dress-up clothes). if she were a boy, she would now be donning her superhero costume every single day, wearing it everywhere, and i'd have to wash it covertly while she slept, replacing it in the exact spot she left it at bedtime so she'd find it clean again in the morning. (though she does put it on first thing in the morning every day, & i do wash it while she sleeps, she just wears it at home, & understands that she can't wear it while it dries on the rack the day after washing it. i'm glad she's not too intense about it!)
meanwhile, sheppy is discovering what it means to be little brother to a girlie-girl...
