This morning, Reilly told me that she wanted to turn on the light in the pantry, and I offered to pick her up to reach the cord, but she insisted that if she had a chair to stand on, that she could pull the cord herself.
I tried to explain to her that she would not be tall enough to reach the cord—even with the chair—but my daughter likes to learn through her own experiences, so she climbed up on the chair and put her hand out for the cord but was woefully short of reaching it, which caused her to lament, “Daddy, I need to grow faster!”
I told her not to worry, that she was growing at this very moment, and she looked down at her feet to verify my claim.
