An inch a month wouldn’t be much for almost anything to move or grow but when I measured my 2-year-old daughter at her request, I was surprised to see that she grew an inch in the past month. From the outside looking in, it looks like it takes a lot of energy to grow so much so fast, and I’m more understanding of her frequent, seemingly senseless tantrums (How dare I cut her pancake into small pieces for her?!) and reminded of that saying:
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”
