And this morning when I dropped you at Montessori your friend Saoirse was so excited to see you she jogged over, baby ponytail on top her her head trembling with excitement, and waited for me to undo the baby gate to let you in. When the gate was gone she reached out her hand for you. You took momentary shelter in my shoulder while I peeled off your winter coat, but then you tentatively reached your own hand out, and took hers.
I love you so much I sometimes feel like I'm going to explode.
Also I time our getting ready in the morning to the progression of the Duke Ellington playlist on Spotify. By the time we got to "Take the A Train" we need to have our play clothes on and be almost ready to go downstairs and make your lunch. I've started singing "So, we'll take the A train, it's the quickest way to get to Harborlight! So, let's take the A train! It's the quickest way to get to school! If you take the A train, you'll go play with all your friends. So, we take the A train! It's the way we get to school!"
