Lately Juliet likes to wear little bags around the house as shoulder bags. In fact if you ask her to find her purse (my mom converted a shoe bag of hers into a purse that she likes to keep leaves, rings, etc inside), she will proudly put it on her arm and walk around the house. And today at the library Juliet insisted on carrying her book bag out herself. Although it was way too heavy, she did not want me to touch the bag in any way, so I just emptied out most of the books and watched her walk out to the doors all by herself. As we headed back to the car, her walking beside me with her book bag, I realized these are the small moments that I'll never forget and will always make my heart warm.
