I did the honors last night, at Drew's request. When I arrived at 3 minutes before 6 at the entrance of St. James -- her new pickup place, since Toddler 1s are on the other side of the church -- she was sitting placidly on the floor like a little Buddha, staring out the glass door as the other parents and teachers milled around. (One nice thing about the move to Toddlers is they bring the kids and diaper bags down to the lobby to wait for the parents).
It took her a while to recognize mommy, probably because it was so dark outside. But as soon as I got her in my arms and started walking back to the car, she began pointing all over the place: At the oncoming headlights, the Portland Art Museum, other pedestrians, other kids.
Just for a moment, I saw the world through her eyes: Lots of bright lights, wet (it was drizzling) and people rushing everywhere. That's her view of life right now.
