Minor Miracle

This morning was one of those days you always dream of: everything went right. Ricki actually got up without too much prodding, got dressed, and ate breakfast. She had me comb her hair into a pigtail, and took her medications. Not only did she leave the house in a happy, smiling mood; she was on time!
But the icing on the cake:
She was in such a good mood that she didn’t even remember to take her imaginary friends with her. Usually as she leaves, she makes a motion as if holding someone’s hand, and says something like “Come, let’s go.” Today she simply waved, said “bye”, flashed a megawatt smile, and bounded down the stairs with nary a glance behind her.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and commenting. I actually have "visited" you and Ricki many times, but never left a comment until now.

So glad she had such a good morning, I could almost picture the smirk on your own face as you observed it all... I guess you get to tend to the imaginary friends as she is out for the day! :) :)
