my girl

Sometimes I focus too much on the whining.
Too much on the pestering.
Too much on the complaining.
Too much on the foot-stomping and the eye-rolling.

But, right at this moment she is putting together goody bags for her upcoming birthday party.
She is labeling each of the bags with the guest's name.
She has picked out a gift bag in each guest's favorite colour.

And earlier this week (all of her own accord) she made a craft necklace for her Auntie Corrie 'cause she knows her Auntie Corrie likes to do crafts. Bits and pieces of things she can take off the necklace to use in her crafts.

Sometimes I need to focus more on THAT.
