On Friday I took Reilly to Great Explorations, a local children’s museum. Reilly loves “GreatEx” so much that when I told her that we were going her smile nearly broke her jaw, and that thrilled expression remained fixed on her face for about 90 minutes, at which point I told her that it was time to return home.
Reilly turns three in a month, but it feels like she’s three already, and that was clearly apparent in her ability to defy me, to physically and mentally fight me when we tried to leave GreatEx, and to raise a scene so embarrassing and so powerful in its mirth that I was actually paralyzed and afraid.
