We had the Pearson girls for a bit this morning. Carrie left (at 4ish I'm told) for a business trip this morning and Eric had a meeting at 8 so the girls came here for an hour until it was time for school. The kids love it when they come--and I do too because it gets me moving. Seth kept saying, "I like those girls! I like Sophie. I like girls." (That last one has me a little worried.
Rachel had to leave at 7:25 to go to her Destination Imagination group. I got everyone else off to school (with plenty of time to spare--which is a miracle) and came back to start up the weekend's mess. I decided to start with Rachel's room. When I went in her bed was made, which surprised me because she RARELY makes it--at least on a school morning.
When I got closer I saw a note that said,
Rachel,
I made your bed because I didn't have anything else to do.
Your friend,
Sophie
What a sweet girl! Now you can see why we want her to come live with us!! The best part of it is that because I was so touched by her kindness I could feel myself getting less irritated at the enormous mess in every room in our house!!
So thank you to Sophie!

You are so kind to even take them in the morning, and then to have a good attitude about it. You are my idol.
