Portrait: On the catwalk, yeah, I shake my little tush on the catwalk

For weeks L has been dragging things behind her with the determination of a second sibling who really, really wants to look like her older sister, who parades about with her backpack on wheels.

So L finally got her own backpack on wheels. This is her on her first day of wheelie-backpack-ownership, chasing her sister up the long walk to the doors to daycare.

February 25, 2009.
She's rolling, rolling, rolling.

And wouldyalookatthat, hey! There's one less heavy thing in my arms every morning.
