Holding Hands

Today Teresa decided that holding hands was something she likes! She's generally been very un-hand-holding friendly, retracting her hands with great speed if I try to hold her hand. But today she was lollygagging behind and I stopped to wait up. She stood there looking at me and held out her hand. I held out my hand too and said, "come along Teresa, let's walk." and waited for her, expecting that she'd want to be carried when she reached me. instead she grabbed ahold of my hand and took off walking. Zing, I'm dragged along, giddy with mommy-ness of being asked to hold hands!
