- My daughter has a new best friend. This 8-year-old was over at our house earlier this week, and he asked me if I'd ever heard of NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month). I told him that I had, and he told me that he finished his novel on November 11. My first reaction? Wow! This kid has done something that I've never even been brave enough to attempt. My second thought? I like this kid even more that I thought.
- My husband was out of town for a few days last week. While he was gone, I was a little down. When my daughter asked me what was wrong, I told her that I really wished I could give her daddy a hug. She ran out of the room, and came back a minute later with a pillow stuffed under her shirt. "Here! This is kinda like hugging Daddy!" Yes, my sweet girl. Just exactly.
- Earlier this week, I took my son to the library to kill time while big sister was at Girl Scouts. I had to shush him... but not because he was screaming. I had to shush him because he was shouting out the names of the colors he noticed around the building. If you've read any of my other posts about our journey with "expressive receptive language disorder" then you know how awesome that shushing actually was. Best shush of my life.
