Generational

I was re-potting a jade plant yesterday, when Neko came out of quiet time to "ask me a question", which means she was thinking of reasons to not be in quiet time anymore.

She chatted me up while I finished, and after I scooted her off to her bedroom, I noticed she had been playing with some of the lost leaves, carefully placing them in order from largest to smallest. All I could do was just shake my head and laugh.

There are never stranger moments in parenthood than when you see all the things you do, the weird little things that make you who you are, reflected back through your children.
