Hi Everyone! My first year of graduate school is coming to an end and I finally have time to blog about my talented, intelligent, hilarious, gymnast, artist, tricycling, singing, potty-humor loving little Tibetan-Fairy-Princess again.
Where to begin? I guess I'll just dive in and tell you about a conversation we had the other day.
Mama, why are you a vegan?
I'm a vegan because I love animals and don't want them to suffer and be killed.
Well, I I think that fish should just swim in the ocean and be free and happy. We shouldn't eat fish at all--they should just swim around in the water.
What about cows?
Some cows should walk around and eat grass free and wild. Other cows it's OK to kill because their body tastes so yummy in momos. (Tibetan dumplings)
Ruby has been spending four days a week with my parents, her absolutely beloved "mom" and "dad." (Shadrup and I are mama and daddy) Ruby and mom have a deeply emotional and unbreakable connection. They go museum hopping, to the botanical gardens and the zoo. They sit around for hours reading books at the library or playing play-doh or workbooks at home. Every child should have this kind of open, trustful, loving and fun relationship with their grandma. And every mother should have this kind of trustworthy, loving, quality...(free)...childcare!!! So I go to school and enjoy lectures and tackle challenges in this incredible MSW program, and return to a child who has been AS loved and nourished and nurtured as she would in my own care. It's awesome, wholesome and kind of perfect.
Thank you mom and dad!!

Welcome back, Lara! It's great to see that you haven't developed writer's blog (awful pun intended)while offline pursuing your MSW.
The thanks for Ruby's care and nurturing go equally to you for lending your little treasure to us. She is everything you say, and more!
