“I really need to do laundry tomorrow, or else on Tuesday, I’ll be wearing a skirt.”
Those were E’s words this evening. I am really chuckling over it, b/c I am sure I’ve said that 1,000 times in my past.
This is her first year doing her own laundry. So far, she’s been a real champ about it. No complaining, remembering to clean the lint trap every time, and sharing the info with her friends without batting an eye. I am not sure, if I hadn’t asked this evening what her laundry situation was, if she would be wearing a skirt on Tuesday or not. But that is part of the lesson that this new chore is teaching.
woo hoo! The girls are growing up!!
(I only celebrate because on the same evening, E showed me a letter she drafted to her teacher about herself and her hopes for 7th grade, and one of the key items she thought to tell her teacher about herself outside of school was that her family has movie night every Friday, and how much she looks forward to it each week. I’m glad we’re still the touchstone.)
hoping all is well 🙂
