*Smiles as Momma plays with my hair and thinks about her question*
"Well, i'd say kikis too little to really understand everything, and well, Iona's a teenager and i think she's fairly used to being kinda independant anyway. i think toni kinda got used to looking out for herself too with her dad but shes not really old enough for that yet - look what happened when she tried to cook!"

*wrinkles my nose and looks over at mommy when she says if i stay in the water too long my insides will freeze, trying ta figure out iffn she bein for real or not, smilin as a thought comes to me*
"Hey mommy, iffn myinsides freezes does that mean i dun hafta goes to school?"
33
I wait patiently as my daughter gathers her thoughts. When she starts to speak I can't help but to be amazed at Willa's maturity.
She eventually comes to sit next to me and I place my arm lightly around her shoulders. "Well, I have to say, I am impressed with your maturity." Letting that sink in for a few moments, I gently fiddle with her hair.
"Why do you think Toni, especially?"
34
I chuckle as Toni immediately strips down and dives into the water, as an afterthought thinking about how cold the water must be and wincing some for her. But as she comes up, I don't see any signs that she particularly minds. Still, there is such a thing as hypothermia.
"Now, you're not going to be able to be in there for too long or your insides'll freeze," I tell her. I'm not trying to scare her but I'm equally unsure of how true that is. Still, better safe than sorry.

*Bounces up hearing mommy and quickly strips down to my sleepshorts that i still had on under my clothes, running quickly to the bank and diving into the deep pool the burn made at this spot, coming up gasping from the icy water, laughing as 2 furry missiles shoot into the water after me

*Glances out the window, not to avoid mommas question but to gather my thoughts, before looking back at her*
"Honestly Momma? Sometimes i wish things could go back to how they were before. I liked our life, my school, my friends. But i like it here too. I like that we have a barn for the horses, and were not surrounded by other houses and people. i Dont always like the chaos that comes with having three others in the house - particularly toni! but.....i do like having another teen in the house sometimes! And i like it when i wake in the morning to find that kikis crawled into bed with me during the night! i guess even tonis ok - when shes sleeping! I do miss having you to myself momma, but i cant imagine them not being around now. They need you momma, at least as much as i do. toni, especially, i think."
*Stands up and goes to sit next to you on the bed, laying my head against your shoulder*
"I can't imagine losing you. Theyve already had to deal with that twice. How can i grudge them a share of you?"
37
It doesn't take me very long to reach the burn, and I look around for Toni. "Okay, I'm here," I call out as I spot the cave and go over to it. "Hey, you. You can go for a swim, now."
38
"Okay, Baby," I answer when my daughter tells me that she would like to do both. And then I change topics, slightly. "Honey, now that you've had a little time to get used to everything, how are you feeling about the girls being here?"

*smiles at Momma when she says we can do the beach as a family thing then do our own thing another time*
"i'd like that momma"
40
Listening to what my daughter says I answer, "well, I can see your point. But you seem like you could use some time, just you and I," I point out. "So, what if we plan a beach day for all of us and then you and I can do something else, just the two of us?"
