10 year old daughter refuses to read any book with me. (I cannot believe she wont dig into I am Malala, its exactly like her Babysitter Club books. Ahem.) So, I snuggle into bed with her and read my Malala and she reads her Babysitter Club. Knee to knee. Hearing each other breathe. Every once and a while, I will read to her from the Malala book and she listens with interest, then returns to her book. I leave it there. I cannot connect with her for an expected outcome. She is not here to please me. It is my job to show up. Every night. To not be pushed away. To keep trying. Smiling. Hugging. Laughing. I will take knee to knee. (but my heart breaks a little when a look sidelong and still see the profile of the baby who slept on me for months...)
