“I know sometimes it can be overwhelming”
Over and over again, Zoe – with her ability to empathize with others and her instinct to help those around her – reminds me of a little Mommy. A few nights ago, I was tired and having a rough time, and Zoe jumped up to help with dinner and her sister’s bedtime routine without even being asked. I later thanked her for helping, and she sweetly nodded. “I know sometimes it can be overwhelming,” she replied. Similarly, I was having another tough parenting moment not long ago and mumbled, “Nights like these…” Zoe heard and said, “Yeh, I know – they’re exhausting.”
It’s like she’s six, going on thirty-six!
