Organizational Skills

Dear Mackenzie,

Recent cuteness:

-I do most of my shopping online, so we don't go to physical stores that often, but I took you to Target the other day and when you saw the toy aisle, your eyes lit up and you gasped, "This store is amazing!" However, you were less enthralled by the Halloween aisle and when you saw all of the scary decorations, you covered your eyes and pleaded, "Can we go? Can we go now? It's freaking me out!"

-Speaking of stores, when we do go to them, you have an odd need to organize all of the products on the shelves. Be it cereal bars, lotion bottles or stuffies, you love to place all of the same items together and sometimes won't leave until you've properly sorted everything on a particular shelf. I hope the store employees have appreciated your help!

-You love sorting things at home, too. I decided to put all of our wrapped snacks in plastic bins so that they are more organized and you genuinely enjoyed sorting and grouping them. When you were finished, you exclaimed, "That was fun!"

-As a fun activity, I set up a "perfume shop" in our living room where you and JieJie could come "shop" for different fragrances (I even cut up strips of cardstock like they have in actual perfume stores so that you could test the perfumes on them). You loved it and wanted to show Daddy. When he walked into the living room, you shouted, "Just the man I was looking for!"

Recent cute sayings:

-"No one can know the future."

-"How did God make everything? How did she do it?" (looooove that you think God is a woman!)

-"Clearly." (you say this all the time now!)

Recent awesomeness: 

-I taught you my phone number and within minutes, you had already memorized it. Nice!

-When we went biking, Daddy gave you a bigger bike and you did a great job riding it. You were even able to pedal while standing up, which you were very proud of. And it made you look like such a big kid!

Love,

Mom
