Declarative sentences
"I'm glad you moved here, Babci."
It was spoken softly by the little dark-haired girl descending my staircase. I was in back of her and almost missed the spontaneous words. Sophie's sincerity caught me by surprise.
"Sophie, I'm glad I moved up here too, to watch you and Hannah grow."
"You would have missed a lot."
"I know." Oh, dear heart, I know. Believe me, I know.
"Thank you, Babci, for having me for a birthday sleepover."
"My pleasure." My delight.

Aren't those moments precious? It almost makes the tantrums and sibling fights worth it. Almost. You need the kisses and cuddles to even it out.
