As I was cleaning out the lunchboxes this evening, I found this note from Tali, thanking me for lunch. Sometimes I send little notes in her lunchbox for her to find later in the day, but this is the first time I received a note back. And a thank you note, no less.It totally took me by surprise. One, the fact that my daughter realized that today, my first day on a new job was a big day for me. And two, the fact that she was thoughtful enough to do what I did for her made me proud. It made me even think that I was doing a pretty damn good parenting job.
And then of course nobody would go to bed tonight and I ended up taking away screen time privileges.
Sigh... I'll take what I can get. Oh, and tomorrow, she's getting a pretty great note in her lunch box.
