KidBits

We were all eating breakfast. London was finishing her bagel with cream cheese. Bergen was shoveling bananas into his mouth. Riley was crunching Apple Jacks. Mosely was eating kiwi. I waved at Piper Finn and said "hi" as I do every day, most of the day. It was then that a tiny miracle happened. (Its being tiny in no way makes it less a miracle.)

Piper Finnian smiled at me. She blinked. And then she waved!

The entire breakfast table erupted in cheers and claps. "She waved at you," London shouted. Riley grabbed the phone and called Kevin. The kids jumped around her and waved and waved, yelling, "Hi! Hi! Hi!"

What a lucky kid. What a blessed house. All these small souls celebrating little milestones.
