I’m happy to say my patience has benevolently returned today, and I came home from work and had a beautiful afternoon with V at the park.
She was also joyful and easygoing, which obviously makes things easier. We had several dance parties in the living room (Mommy, dance wid me. Ayexa, pway ‘Big Time’ by Petuh Gabwul, fwom Spo’fy) and a peaceful dinner.
Now she is settling into my arms. I can tell it’ll be an easy bedtime.
On days like this, I look up, and to whatever it may be (luck, fate, karma, or something else), and say:
Thank you.
