daani told me her first secret the other day.

and it was the sweetest thing. it makes me smile just thinking about it.

the thing is, she wasn’t supposed to tell me, because it was someone else’s secret. it’s not like it was a huge deal that she told me, it was a small and fun thing, but it was a secret that she was meant to hold.

in her excitement she told me. she let me into her circle and shared with me. some may see this as being untrustworthy. and maybe so, by definition, but to me it was a special moment and an act of trust.

the way she shared was the cutest too. she just mouthed the words. to be discreet.

i’ve never seen her do that before! like, hold up, where’d you learn to do that?

and maybe i shouldn’t have shared this. but you won’t tell, right?

ps. i came across this kids book today and think it’s pretty rad. check it out if you’re looking for a gift for a newborn to grow into or for your favourite kid to enjoy now. i know both of mine would love this.

pps. have a little listen to one of my favourite songs on the matter.
