Hands

This morning, as she stepped down from her chair, Z. took her finger out of my hand. Then she very carefully wrapped her four fingers and palm around all four of my fingers. Granted, my hands are small enough to fit into gardening gloves made for 3-5 year olds (the stretchy kind of glove, but they do fit.)

But Z.'s hand is now big enough to hold mine.

Are people always saying to you, the way they do to me: nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands. ?

Wow. That's a big milestone.

And what is this? Meeting of the small hands club? Yes, me too...

My hands are not especially small. But I do so love holding Miss M.'s little hand, fingers interlaced with mine.

Niobe, no, I'd never heard that, but I googled it, cummings. It's beautiful. Thank you for pointing me to it.

Julia, yes!! (Imagine me putting up my small hand for a small-hand high five.)

Magpie, I'll look forward to that with Z.!
