With a 2.5-year-old, it’s the little things that remind you of how special they are and make your heart feel like melting. Like yesterday morning, when Avery ran off after hearing Q and I talk about wearing a suit to work – and then reappeared carrying a little green swimming suit that she had plucked from her drawer. (“Suit!” she cried out, holding it up happily.) Or last night at bedtime when she asked if she could have more ice-cream after her “nap.” Or a few nights prior when I went to tuck her in (again), and her quiet voice called from the dark, “‘Happy you’re here, Mama.”

I know this phase doesn’t last long, so I’ve got to soak it all in while I can.
