When I was a child, one of my favorite books was: "Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys, and Some Monkey Business".This book by Siberian author Esphyr Slobodkina was published in 1940 and has entertained generations of preschoolers. The peddler walks around a small town with a stack of hats on the top of his head that reached so high... I won't ruin the story for you, but as a little girl... I wanted to be that peddler with those caps piled high.....
Fast forward 30 years....that little girl has become a mom, a business woman, a cook, a runner. Each moment of my day, I reach up and place a new hat on my head.... I am finding that I AM that peddler!
There are so many things to do and places to be each day, that I feel that stack of caps, sway and pitch. But somehow, with the magic of mommy hood, the hats stay on my head!
