Two minutes later I told her it was time to come inside; she yelled "no!" and took out two of my little snowmen trying to run away from me. But the five minutes I let her linger were wonderful!

Lingering for Lights
I normally rush Zooey in and out of the house. Tonight, I was about to try to hurry her in, when I saw her crouching down just staring at one of our snowman lights. It hit me: this pure and childlike fascination with lights isn't going to be here forever. Next year, she might get bored after a week and rush right into or out of the house. So, I paused. I watched. Sheer joy! I pray I can hold onto these little moments forever in my heart's photo album.
Two minutes later I told her it was time to come inside; she yelled "no!" and took out two of my little snowmen trying to run away from me. But the five minutes I let her linger were wonderful!
