Today I made sure to give thanks for all of the little moments: The sweet sleepyhead moments; The wacky singing, strumming and dancing moments; The creative, completely unique moments (yes, that turkey is scotch-taped to her chest); The silly, uncooperative moments, immediately followed by sweet ones; And last but not least, the totally nutty, completely…

Last Halloween, I had to carry Tess around for trick-or-treating, because some of the bigger kids' costumes scared her. This year, she wanted to hold my hand the whole time. I didn't mind one bit. After all, walking up to complete strangers — and speaking to them — must be intimidating to a four-year old.…
