Heard a kid at the park tell his friend 'I did it all by myself' after tying his shoes... and it hit me.

My four-year-old finally zipped up her own jacket last week and the look on her face was pure magic. That moment of "I can do it" is such a huge win for them. It's easy to forget how many tiny skills we take for granted now. Seeing them figure something out for the first time is honestly the best part of my day. It just fills you up with this weird happy pride. Those little victories are everything.

Wait, is it weird that I get the same feeling when my dog finally figures out a new trick? That pure "I did it" look is just the best. You're right though, @the_claire, it's all about those tiny wins we don't even think about anymore, like tying shoes. Makes you want to slow down and notice more.
