Polar bears, oh my!

My daughter turns eight today, my little solstice child.

She had a party yesterday, and her absolute favorite gift from the party was definitely the polar bear that’s, well, maybe not as tall as she is, but pretty big anyway.

Today, I went in to read to her class (The Day the Crayons Came Home), and she didn’t want me to leave.

So yes, she’s who I’m grateful for today, my charming daughter with all of her enthusiasm. What are you grateful for this Monday?
