While waiting for Moon to be born, the midwife appointments often fell on the full moon. K, Blue and I would admire the moon as we headed for home. I think it was four year old Blue who first thought to use "moon" as a middle name.
Eleven years ago tonight, as I caught him coming out (with the midwife's help, of course), he looked at me with these eyes as big as moons, and I said, "Oh, you are Moon!". A few hours later we took him outside to look at the moon.
Tonight we drove down to the lake and did the same, he was thrilled to have a full moon birthday.
And this begun, thinking of the big and wonder of the moon, and of my Moon.
And that Moomintroll onsie he's wearing up top, I found it for $1.00 at a thrift store, perfect for my Moominbaby.
We're taking off for a few days....wishing you all moon filled nights.
