Laowai

I just dropped Bea at school with her Birthday cake. Today is her day to celebrate with her class and her teacher. She woke up early to decorate the cake with a rainbow. 

I’m feeling wistful. These milestones and the million little moments that come with them are so precious. Making the cake, peeking excitedly into the bowl of frosting while I mix it, seeing her concentrate while she sprinkles candy, her proud face. My darling almost five year old.

And now I must go because my other darling is trying to unload the dishwasher.
