I buttoned bitty E’s peter pan collar uniform shirt and zipped her into her kindergarten jumper.
One day I will button a silken tassel to her cap.
And one day I may button up a long line of satin-covered buttons…86 on the train, to be precise.
Lord help me on the day I adjust a tiny christening gown button before her family walks the few steps to the chancel.
But for today, just a few white plastic buttons, most she can handle but, “Mom, can you help me with the hard ones.”
Yes, baby, all the days you want.
?. Yes, all the days you want.
