TO DO for the Day!

If you know me at all, you know that I an a fan of TO DO lists. It is a joy for me to write down the tasks ahead and feel the joys of completing them. Kevin seems to enjoy this as well when it comes to projects around the house! Well, Tessa has joined in the fun, with a little help from Daddy she came up with a wonderful first ever TO DO list....
  1. Eat breakfast
  2. Make my bed
  3. Pick up clothes
  4. Brush my hair
  5. Learn how to make a ponytail
  6. Help Daddy
  7. Feed fish in the pond
  8. Get ice cream
She was SO into it and made sure that she crossed off things as she completed them. She talked about it all day and really looked forward to RUNNING into the kitchen to the list on the refrigerator and checking things off. Kevin numbered the list so she knew what each one said. She even said "Come on Ella, you can help me with this then we can cross it off the list!" Such a little helper bee! We were really proud of her and the sense of accomplishment she felt! Tess is certainly one that likes to be busy and be complimented when she has done a job well done....we all have a little bit of this in us, don't we?
We are proud of her and the fact that she was all geared up to make another list of things to work on for the day!
