Sometimes, your daughter gives you a brief view of the person she will become when she gets through her gawky years, bad skin, puberty, dating, high school, college and navigating you giving her up to the world!!!
Today was that day. She did all her homework early, unpacked her lunch box, sat close to me and watched American Idol. She shared her funny emails about Edward Cullen (Twilight vampire for those of you who don't know). She let me kiss her 100 times,( I don't really kiss her 100 times. But I say "100 kisses!!!" and kiss her like crazy which always gets her giggling and I'm sure feeling very loved for no reason whatsoever) She never said, MOM! She went to bed without a fuss.
All that would tend to make most parents nervous but I know this is temporary; it is a preview. She is integrating all the things you nag about, demand that she do, expect of her for the moment. For a brief moment.
Dry run
Calm before the storm.
Fake out.
But I'm smiling. Today was a good day. It fills me with confidence that I can do this one more time.
