During soccer today, Lily was in front of the net -- ball was in the corner amid heavy traffic. Two opposing kids kick for the ball... Lily's teammate comes out on top! The other kid falls down. The ball rolls right toward Lily, all alone with an empty net. Lily runs toward the ball, it's all her, the nets open, easy goal... she runs by the ball into the corner. She helps the kid on the opposing team stand up, and asks if he's okay. He is. She holds his hand and they head back toward the action. Fighting spirit be damned.
Later in the day, I'm alone with Sophie at the grocery store. As we drove in, the quarter Merry-Go-Round was on. Sophie asked if we could ride it. I responded that I had no quarters. She correctly replied that it was already on. I tugged her into the store, assuming it was about to stop. As we exited, friggin' thing was still going in circles, so I was stuck.
