My daughter Amanda likes to be organized. She loves lists. One Christmas Paul and I got her one of those white boards to hang in her room because it was easier than keeping a bunch of post-its. Most of the time she writes down her schedule on it. Like, "get up", "get dressed", "brush teeth"...And sometimes if a friend is sleeping over, she'll write a welcome message. Last month she was keeping track of her savings because she wanted to donate some money to Haiti for the relief fund. So she wrote down what her goal was and every Friday, when she got her allowance, she'd update her board with what was left to reach her goal. She ended up giving $50 to the charity. It was her own money that she had been saving for weeks. I was so inredibly proud of her as was the staff at her school when she brought it in and handed it over.
Well this month she has a new goal. She wants to buy herself a mini laptop compurter. Paul saw her board first and called me into her room to show my. It was the cutest thing ever! We had a little giggle over her enthusiasm. This is what we saw:
She is so precious!
