Miss Responsibility

The title says it all. She is highly responsible. Way too much for her age sometimes. I hope she looks back at her childhood with fondness. She will be the first to volunteer to do things around the house when asked vaguely to my audience of children. She will do things without being told. . . most of the time. She is self-motivated and attention to detail in her homework may come back to bite her. Like last night. She missed GEMS because she had to finish her paper. Granted, this was unlike her because she waited until the night before to do it. After some inquiry she said she knew over Easter break that she had to complete it. I don't know if she's entering the Tween years with forgetting some things or she's so exhausted from being responsible all the time that she will just drop EVERYTHING when there's a break. She has enjoyed baking lately. She has made cookies and a couple other things. This last time I reminded her that she does have to clean up afterwards. She hasn't baked since then. Hmmmm
