Rachel the adult

At daycare today, Rachel and another toddler, Cody I think, were listening to a book being read to them. Cody started crying and didn't stop.

According to Teacher Jennifer, Rachel said, slightly exasperated, "Cody needs his father to come take him home."

Rachel ran into the bedroom as I was changing out of my work clothes, wrapped her arms around my right leg and hugged me tight. Then she said, "I tired. I eat little dinner then go to bed."

Um, OK, honey. Fine by me!

"Who are you going to play with at school today?" I asked Rachel on the way to daycare this morning.
"I don't play with ANYBODY," she said firmly. "I play with MYSELF!"

Both Drew and I are so happy she's so...self-sufficient? Self-directed? Independent? I just hope she doesn't grow up too fast.
