The day to day reality can feel mundane or overwhelming, but the seemingly minor details can change everything for a single moment and elevate it to a level of ecstasy no words could ever truly capture.
Climbing up the stairs with a giant stuffed animal and a bottle of chocolate milk, the typical beginning of the bedtime routine I have with Etienne, he reached over and held my hand tightly, smiling up at me with messy curls falling into his face. This is an event worth framing in my memory for all eternity.
---Second magical moment of the week:
We were sitting as his dry-erase-board desk, and I drew him cartoons. When I wrote out the word "T-REX," he recognized all the letters, and showed me how he could write it, too. For the first time in his little life, he wrote out a full word all by himself, and I got to be right next to him.
This is officially the most rewarding job I've ever had.
