Today started early with Hamer waking up and making a simple but satisfying breakfast for us. After breakfast, we exercised together, running and playing agility games until noon. On our way back, we bought ingredients for noodles, and Hamer proudly cooked her own lunch, enjoying every bite.
In the afternoon, Hamer resisted going to her dance class. After some persuasion—both gentle and stern—she reluctantly agreed. After her class, Xiaoyan picked her up, and we went to the mall as promised. There was a small argument over where to eat, but eventually, we settled on an American restaurant. The relaxed atmosphere, a good meal, and arcade games helped everyone recover their good spirits. Hamer declared, “Today was such a happy day!” which made all the small struggles worth it.
By evening, Hamer was exhausted, falling asleep in the scooter on the way home. I, too, felt tired, but as I recalled the day’s small yet warm moments, a sense of contentment filled me.
