This is my live-in-the-moment daughter, Tessa. In her new Halloween wig. Several weeks before Halloween.
I give her roots; she gives me wings. Every once in awhile I notice how perfect this is.
====================================

Tessa is quite a free spirit. I like her purple hair…and her spirit…and her wings!
What a fabulous wig! Where can I get one?
LOL, Robin — if Cher had purple hair! (Which I’m sure she has had).
That’s a great wig!
We all need someone to give us wings… and roots, too, come to think of it. I love your Tessa stories.
Don’t you wish that we could all hold on to that completely unrestrained spirit of self-expression that kids have? Love it!
To be a kid again. Lovely moment.I still have an Elvira wig. That thing got a lot of use later on at theme parties.
If we could all remember how to be childlike more often.
I don’t know what I like best – the purple wig or your comment about how you give Tessa roots and she gives you wings. It makes me laugh and cry at the same time!
I love it!! She looks so joyful! Happy Halloween, dear Tessa! I hope you get lots of candy in your incredible new wig!
I love Halloween! It is so much fun for them! Love the picture of her skipping!

It’s a good look for her!
That is some great hair! Is there a costume that goes with it, or is it just going to be about the hair?
When I was pregnant, my neighbor told me that all I had to do was give my child roots and wings and everything would work out great. I’m trying my best…
You can just tell from the picture how much she loves that purple hair! I bet she will always remember it.
Find that balance can be so difficult sometimes. Sounds like you guys have it down pretty well. 🙂
It looks like you’re raising Cher.
Cher with wings. I hope she wears that wig from now until November.
