Showing Someone You Care

Alexis again deserves a documented brag session from her mom. She has been so helpful and sensitive to me the last few days. Tonight when we came home and I felt grouchy and tired and overwhelmed with messes downstairs, she said, “You can just go to bed mom,” while working on cleaning things up. This gave me the last shreds of energy to keep going, just knowing I had someone willing to help. Also, last night she cleaned up all of the dishes and put them in the dishwasher from dinner – plus washed the things that wouldn’t fit. She even put them away and coaxed Lily into helping her – she made it fun. I overheard her tell Lily, “Now we get to do my favorite part!” (Talking about washing the pots, etc. by hand) I am so happy that Alexis has learned to SHOW she cares. Thanks Lex – it meant a lot! I love you.
