Peace sleeps

Last night, as my 4-year-old settled down for bedtime, she went over to her little sister. She made sure she was tucked in, that she had her teddy bear, and gave her a kiss. Then she grinned and told me she’d given her a kiss.

After a day of hand-to-hand combat over who got to sit in the Dora chair and other details of life, it was good to see peace play out in their world. Nothing big or exciting, just a moment.

Any examples of peace in your world? I’d love to hear from you.

Back again? That's awesome. Thanks for stopping by!

    My daughter and I have been battling a bit lately – being together 24/7 for nearly three months and working as much as we do (well, she works, I watch and wait) is taking its toll on both of us. But today she just randomly walked up to me and gave me a big hug and kiss. Out of nowhere. It’s not like we don’t give each other hugs every day. But this felt special – truly heart felt. And it was great :)
