No good-bye for Mommy

Q’s mom made a recent comment about how much Zoe looked like a young teenager. She’s right – and Zoe certainly acts like one too! Take this morning, when Zoe (mad at me over something quite small) left the house in a huff, without saying good-bye. It’s the first time we’ve ever left one another without saying good-bye, and I was hit with this reality: She’s not a baby anymore! And also: This is likely just the first of many, many times in which she’ll leave the house angry at me.

(sigh)

    I’m sure that if you let her know, in a tender moment, how hurtful that was to you, she will never do it again.
