One day last week, I had a whole lot of work to do and no childcare for Amelia. She came looking for my attention more than once, and each time, I had to return her to her own devices pretty quickly. She was mostly patient and cooperative, but by lunchtime, when I took a break and summoned her to her peanut butter & jelly, she had something on her mind. I joined her at the table, and, plaintive, she asked, “could we just, like…..go somewhere we haven’t been in a long time? Or go see a friend we haven’t seen in a long time? Or do a special project or make a special craft that I haven’t done before?”
