A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents and my wife, her 42 who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 43 again. As I pulled out of Mamere and Papere’s driverway in Chelmsford, Hailee and I were both 44 about the trip and couldn't wait to arrive at our 45 .
When we completed the“SEVEN”-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey.
Hailee is at that “I want to 48 it myself” stage of her life. And if you can just get over the “hurry-up syndrome (综合征)” we acquire as 49 , it is wonderful to witness that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering（惊天动地的）event or being 51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time or putting on your own 52 on the right feet — would be so 53 ?
I’ll never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 54 into my truck by herself. She finally 55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel (方向盘) and declared 56 “I did it!” And when she could actually put her own seat belt on, what a(n) 57 !
Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip (啜饮) a McDonald's milkshake through a straw? It is hard enough for an adult, too. And 59 every time the icy solution (溶液) touched her lips, you could see the 60 in her eyes. I learned that you can't hurry a child through a milkshake.
