I am upstairs with my four year old granddaughter where it is warm and open and friendly. We talk and laugh about her school. Her friends. She tries my pasta yet it is too spicy. She tips her water and only a drop escapes the lid.
She wears the cutest hat ever. It's a white knit beanie that reads, "Meow. Just kitten." Cute as can be. And she has a wrap around dress over tights and lace-up boots. And of course a pink knit backpack. Kid's got style, I'm telling you.
As we were leaving, a nice young lady who works there compliments Norah's boots and Norah thanks her. Norah proudly tells me "...and I looked her in the eye when I said, 'Thank you.'"
At age four she understands that it is kind and polite, to have good manners and to look people in the eye when we talk to them. My job is done. (Ha! Well maybe not...lol!)
