Kaia: The Perfect Daughter


Sightseeing on the edge of the Grand Canyon!  She has her walkie talkie ready to go!



Yesterday, while I was making lunch, I asked the kids if they could clean up the basement.  When I called them for lunch, they were close to being done and they hadn't whined or complained or tattled or ANYTHING.  I was already counting my blessings.  Then Kaia noticed that the dishwasher needed to be emptied.  Her statement just about knocked my socks off.

"Mom, Can I empty the dishwasher and then go finish cleaning the basement?"

I acquiesced to her request.  She just so sincerely wanted to do it, how could I say no??  Can anyone say "Dream Daughter"?  She really is such a great little girl and always looking for ways to help.  It's how she feels good about herself and she's realized that really young.  I'm so proud of her!!
