The number says you are an Engine.
Legs and arms and fingers are pistons moving.
The number says you have a length of days experience.
Enough that you know what you want.
Enough that you will tell us. All of us. When and how and what you want.
The number says that sometimes you take a nap,
And sometimes the nap takes you.
But
It doesn't say that you would tell me how you feel a few weeks ago.
And why you feel that way.
I wasn't expecting that.
Nor how important it would be for me to tell you about your Day before you go to bed.
Or how much I enjoy watching you through the window at school before you know we're there.
Or watching your mother hold you.
Thank you, Little Girl.
