The Longest Shortest Time

Split Personality

So many things have been happening lately that I’ve wanted to post about but I’ve been sidetracked by preparations for LST’s big announcement, coming on September 9th. I will try to sneak a few posts in before then, but in the meantime, something happened yesterday that I just had to share. Sasha has gotten very screamy again recently. It is her reaction to not getting something the second she asks for it, or if I turn my back for a moment to talk to someone else or answer the phone or chop vegetables for dinner. Some afternoons, it is nonstop.

Yesterday I took Sasha out for a cookie. Two cookies, in fact. For us to share. While I was paying, Sasha went and picked us a table. When I sat down next to her, I discovered this in front of my seat:

 
Perfectly split in half! “Here you go, Mommy,” she said. “Eat your cookies.”

Evidence that she is on her way toward becoming an empathetic little human.

What pleasant surprises have your kids given you?
