I swear I almost cried when I opened Jed’s lunch bag after school and pulled out this macaroni necklace:

I could not believe how moved I was by macaroni. I was prepared for the major early milestones: first word, first steps… but I did not have “first macaroni necklace” on the list of things that would strike a chord with me. I just love little surprises like that.

What’s snuck up on you lately?
