Proud Parents

I'm in awe.
Piper is just... Well, she's growing up. Exploring more. Braver and secure.

Yesterday at school another little girl pushed Piper. It hurt her feelings more than anything. Miss Vicky suggested to the little girl,  who is young and didn't know how to make amends, that she pat Piper on the back.
Piper promptly said, "do not pat me, I am not an animal"

Boundaries. Our 3 year old has clear and comfortable boundaries. 
She wasn't mean about it, she was just very clear that she did not want to be treated like an animal.
And how on the heck did she put that all together so quick? 

Piper has become adventurous and silly. Playing in cold water, squealing and covering herself in mud more so than before.



And so kind...
Saoirse could see her Mom through a glass door and she was crying for her. 
Piper saw this and came right over, put her arm around her pointed to Aoife and said, " see Saoirse? There's your Momma, she's coming back. She's right there, see her?"
