Avery had a rough morning yesterday: Within 20 minutes of her waking up she had been sassy and gotten in trouble and was not talking with me. After taking some deep breaths and venting to Q, I sat her down on the couch and asked if she was having a bad morning. (She was.) “Do you want to start over?” I asked, to which she nodded. “Well, you’re too old for fairy dust,” I said, referring to something we did when we wanted to start our bad days over when the girls were little, but she interrupted me with a quiet “No, I’m not.” And so, I sprinkled “fairy dust” on our heads and we went on our way.<\/p>\n
It’s nice to be reminded, sometimes, that she’s still a little girl.<\/p>\n
