Today we ventured to the original pancake house (GF pancakes for the win!) for breakfast. Ryanne ordered pancakes and bacon. She wanted syrup. I poured it on.
"The bacon is soiled."
I was confused. Then she pointed to the pool of syrup touching the bacon. I excitedly dipped mine in and declared that I loved bacon soiled with syrup.
She grudgingly tried it.
She demanded more syrup.

Sibling brutality
From Chrys:
"We were playing Star Wars...and I had the light saber"
And that's when she hit him in the face with the snow shovel.
There was some blood. Dr. Aunt MK says it's not broken. Still looks a little sore.

Grateful Heart
I have been participating in the 30 days of a grateful heart challenge posed by the wonderful, Jote. Today is day 6.
Today, I am grateful for my beautiful girl. She is growing into such an amazing, compassionate and generous human being.
Today was the first day of her school Holiday Shoppe. She is scheduled to shop on Thursday, but I know the inventory will be iffy by then, at best, so I took her this afternoon after school. She wandered through and found gifts for her grandparents, her brother, Chrys and me. Not once did she ask to buy something for herself. All day long, I had seen other kids come through and buy things for other people and always they set aside something for themselves.
She admired the ice cream erasers, but when the time came, walked away and bought only for others. I am constantly in awe of her generosity. I am truly honored and eternally grateful that she chose me to be her mom.
-----------------------
This year has been a struggle for her with regards to Christmas. This is the first year she really hasn't wanted anything. Sure, there are things that she would like from others, but nothing that she wants so much that it has made it to a request from Santa. Chrys and I are trying to come up with anything and the Santas that she's talked to have promised to come up with a wonderful surprise for her. I fear disappointing her, even though I don't think she really cares.
Maybe a charm for the bracelet she bought herself at the Girl Scout store. Definitely some ice cream erasers in her stocking.
