Beachy Keen

Dear Mackenzie,

When it comes to the ocean, you have no fear! When we went to the beach a couple of weeks ago, you loved being in the water and couldn't get enough of it, even when some of the bigger waves crashed over you and knocked you down. We went to the beach again today and you were the same: You couldn't wait to get in the water and let the waves hit you! I love how happy you are in the ocean! I also loved seeing how much fun you had with JieJie in the ocean. At one point, she was sitting at the edge of the water with you facing her in her lap. Every time a wave came and picked you two up, you both squealed, laughed and joyfully clung to each other. It was such a sweet picture of sisterhood!

Also sweet was how helpful you were today! When it was time to go home and you saw me gathering up all of the beach toys, you immediately ran around and helped me collect the rest of them. You gave everyone their flip flops and when we were in the changing area, you held up the plastic bag for us to put our wet bathing suits in while we changed into our dry clothes. I didn't even ask you to do that; you just saw how you could be useful and did it. Thank you so much, sweetie!

Love,

Mom
