239/365 Holly
She lets Maggie jump from adult-high ledges, play with stones that frame the Zen garden. When she tells her daughter no, she tells her why. She balances Maggie’s patience with friendtalk, and no one is frustrated very long, if at all. She pays attention.

Sigh... I wish I had had a mother with such zen-like qualities...
Helen: Me too. And Holly's got her hyper side (don't we all?), so it was kind of amazing for me (hyper and childfree) watching her be such good/cool mom. We just met Maggie for the first time on our trip to Oregon...
