My daughter turned 11 last week. We got her an ipod. Tonight I came downstairs after getting changed from work and she was listening to classical music and painting a paint by number. She was genuinely so happy. 🥰 She isn't perfect and not without her preteen hormonal moments but it was sweet to see her enjoying art, music and lately more books. She's an old soul like her Dad but fiercly creative like me. That moment was a bit of grace in a small place and I am thankful for her.
