Noticing Something Shiny
Our talk became silent as we watched our daughter play with the doll at her feet, moving it around with her active tiny hands. Just then, a glimmer grabbed my eye. I squinted, attempting to concentrate on the sparkly spot behind the doll’s head. ‘Have you seen that?’ I whispered, leaning closer. He followed my gaze, and his eyes narrowed. We knew we needed to check it later.

A Plan for Later
My hubby said what I was thinking. ‘Maybe we should disassemble the doll and see what’s inside,’ he offered finally. It sounded like a plan, but the idea of disassembling her favorite toy felt awful. Plus, our daughter was still holding it. ‘Not while she is watching,’ I said, shaking my head. We nodded to each other and silently agreed to wait until she was completely asleep. Our curiosity had to wait a little longer.
