Charli never stops, from the moment she wakes until she reluctantly surrenders to sleep (and even in her sleep she talks – or screams!). She has such an active mind and is forever off in a corner of the house creating something, be it art, writing, a song or a dance; or in the garden looking for insects and collecting nature treasures.
She forgets to eat and drink at times. She ignores her body telling her to sleep. We see the signs and try to step in with a gentle reminder to drink… to sleep… to eat… before her mind and body crashes and her mood with it. But, on the whole, she’s a marvel to have around and keeps us forever in awe.
Just this morning, before school, she was busy weaving…
In and out, like the thoughts in her head, interwoven with love and emotion.
