Miles has brought a few art projects home from school at this point, but today’s was the first one he was visibly proud of. He held it up for me when I arrived at daycare tonight, and I asked him what it was. “Apple!” he replied, pointing at the colored cutouts affixed to the paper. Once we got to the car, he still clung tightly to the paper. I wrested it away from him only to ensure that he didn’t destroy it on the way home and Jaclyn would have a chance to see it.
And after showing it to mommy, he promptly threw it on the floor.
