Little Helper

Dear Mackenzie,

Weekday mornings can be chaotic but you made this morning decidedly less chaotic. I took a bowl of leftover dumplings out of the fridge to heat some up for your lunch and when I was done, you put the clingwrap back on the bowl and put the bowl back in the fridge for me. When you finished your breakfast, you turned off the iPad music and the dining room light before leaving the room. After I brushed your teeth, I told you to go to your room so that I could do your hair. When I got to your room a minute later, you were standing in your room with your hair untied, head down, brush in one hand, hair tie in another--you were in position and waiting for me to do your hair! Thank you for being so helpful and dutiful! You know what needs to be done and do it without me having to ask, which I appreciate so much!

Love,

Mom
