It feels wrong somehow to say that sometimes life with La is less angst-ridden than it is with our other girls. I'd go further - sometimes, just sometimes her behaviour offsets their issues and gets us all through.
This week has been a weird one with Becky coming back from university for the summer, Melissa finishing her A-Levels, left school days behind her and La's dad away on business. All these culminate to get lots of emotions and stresses whirling about in the house.
La is extremely sensitive to all these vibes and is perfectly capable of quite spectacular meltdowns but somehow she has not let herself get sucked in over the last few days and as a result has kept me going by just being so calm and grounded all the time. Looking after her and spending lots of time with her has somehow kept me sane. For example, when she needs her tea there's just no way I'm going to get bogged down with any stuff, happy or sad, that has come into the house.
Last night I noticed that special yoga breathing I have been trying to perfect every day for 3 months now - La does it quite naturally in her own sweet, peaceful way!
Thanks for the lesson, La.
