Today Before you dismiss it with its failed starts, confrontation, carpet stains, and delays, consider the moment in the kitchen when she picked up her toy off the floor without being told, or when she caught your eye in the rearview mirror and made you smile. Easy to forget after her fit at the store or her pronounced “NO!” after lunch but they did happen and that makes today more than a throwaway. And when you recall it was she who remembered to brush her teeth before bed you’d be forgiven for dusting it off and adding it to the box where her medals and drawings and handmade cards will also go, the things that are worth much more than they look.
