As we all know, the economy has been less than ideal lately. There are tons of things around us that verify just that… gas prices, lay offs, difficulties with lenders, a HUGE bail-out plan. If you look around you’re bound to notice something! In the past couple of weeks these are two signs printed and posted by local small business owners.
This is a good one….
But THIS is my favorite!
Need I say more?
Around our house one of the dumb things I say that totally motivates our girls is, “Thanks! You rock!” This can be used when one of the kids finishes their supper, when they brush their teeth, clean their toys, get dressed… pretty much anything. Last week one day, I told Ava that she rocked because she got dressed for school right away like I had asked. (This may seem small, but around here that is a huge feat!) Fast forward a few minutes to Ella getting up. I over hear Ava talking to Ella quietly, “Ella, today is my day to rock. Ok? You can rock tomorrow. Today I just wanna rock, not you, not Daddy, not Cooper, not Mommy, just me today ok?”
Ella… “Umm, ok Aba, you can rock today. I will rock tomowwow.”
“Thanks Ella!”
Well we’ve all heard the saying… and last week Miss Ella made it happen! I was busy one day boiling water and my cloth diapers to get them all gleaming white. Well once the diapers had been boiled and tossed in the washer, I set the pot down on the bathroom floor until I needed it for the next batch of diapers. I left the room, and when I returned I found this!
You would have to know that this… again… is another beautiful gift from my Ella! God love that child!!
