On Monday I took Mary on a Mommy Daughter date to Color Me Mine and The Creperie for hot cocoa. She has been SUCH a good girl all year–so helpful, so kind, so obedient. I just love her and wanted her to feel seen. And the beauty of that is that I had the chance to actually SEE her on this date. Sometimes it is hard to see each individual child in the chaos of ordinary life. But one-on-one time is so valuable because I got to appreciate how darling and precious and adorable Mary is. I felt sooooo lucky to be her mom. Like, please pinch me, because I can’t believe this cute girl is mine!
