Sometimes it is the littlest things that give us the greatest pleasures. That happened today. Maddy was at her grandparents for the evening. She usually will spend one evening a week over there just hanging out.
Usually when she returns she will take the time and tell us everything that she did while there. We have to hear everything they did in great detail. We don't mind, but when you are 16 should the highlight of your week be your grandparents house? This evening was completely different.
She was dropped off and while on the phone she said hello to both of us and then smiled a huge smile and ran upstairs to talk on the phone.
To see her be a "typical" teenager is such a joy for us. The days when we know she is living a life with a foundation we have provided and the opportunity to be a teenager makes us nervous and proud all at the same time.
