“It’s beautiful!”
Little kids, I’ve learned over the years, have the tendancy to bust out the sweetest, most caring comments at the most random moments. The other night, for example, I was dressed to go walking with some girlfriends when Zoe eyed my hoodie, work-out pants and sneakers and said, “Oh! Pretty!” (Really? I thought. This was the outfit that caught her eye?)Â And then this morning, I was leaning down next to Avery when she stroked my bare arm. “This your arm,” she said, stating the obvious as toddlers like to do. “It’s beautiful!”
To say those comments made my day would be an understatement.
