The Little Compliment From My Preschooler That Made My Day

A girl in a pink camisole on a brown plant during the daytime.

This morning we were getting ready — Sasha for preschool, and the rest of us for work.

She was the first to get dressed and stood waiting by the door.

I was throwing on my jacket and making a last-minute adjustment to my hair when she said, in a perfectly casual, grown-up voice:

– “By the way, Mommy! You look really great today!”

I couldn’t help but smile, and in that moment I remembered why I’d always dreamed of having a daughter. 😀
