The other day Josie and I were having an everyday but great conversation. Josie told me, "I'm determined to do, what I was born to do." Pretty cool quote from my five year old. Especially when she is referring to being herself.
Josie continues to impress and make us proud. She loves to help out. Her brothers were eating ice cream sandwiches after dinner the other night. Josie kept watching the mess that was being created. Without me asking, she got two wet paper towels and cleaned them up. She did this with great care, individually wiping each sticky finger. It was such a sweet gesture.
I'm constantly cleaning up (whether my house looks like this or not, it's true!). Josie has the attitude, "if you can't beat them, join them". She always is willing to grab some lysol wipes and help me out. This week was busy, crazy, and out of the norm. Mostly because we were just getting back from being gone for so long. Regardless, I truly believe Josie has a high emotional intelligence. I've seen her demonstrate this in so many ways before, but this week I was the recipient. She knew I was off, without me ever saying anything Josie stepped up her game. My little helper was in overdrive and I couldn't have been happier to have her by my side.
Lastly, Josie was in her third wedding last weekend. The kid is becoming a pro at this whole flower girl thing! While wearing a dress isn't her preference, she did it with grace and confidence....however she also told us this was her last time being a flower girl. When we asked why she simply said, "I need a break!"
