[blparent] pumpkin carving

[trishs]

Hugs, V!  I know it's hard, but we have to give them the power 
and permission to grow up.  I'll never trust this world, so I 
have no choice but to trust my children.  As we know as blind 
parents, doing for someone isn't help.

>Now that Gabriella is 9 years old, she announced this evening 
that she wanted to carve her own pumpkin.  she had dad cut the 
top off and I gutted it and she drew a pattern on its face.  when 
all that was done, i was going to call dad to come pop out the 
eyes and the like.  Gab told me that she needed a sharp knife so 
she could cut out the eyes, nose and mouth.  I didn't want to let 
her, but i got out the paring knife and sat rigid across the 
table.  she did a pretty good job.  the face is a little crooked, 
but she did it herself.  sniffle, sniffle , my baby is growing 
up.  V
