Kayla is on Spring Break this week.
And this morning we went on a special adventure.
She set the agenda.
I set some mild perimeters.
Her first choice was to "go to Hawaii to open coconuts."
Oh how I love my biggest girl.
I love her heart.
I love that, in the bookstore, she noticed the Max and Ruby section.
And reminded me how much Ashlyn would love one.
I love that, in Build-a-Bear, she chose the weird looking, not-so-cute wolf
because a portion of the proceeds go to the World Wildlife Federation.
And named it Jazzebella. Not to be confused with Jezebella.
I love that, at CPK, she insisted on sharing the bread with me, even though I said she could have all three pieces.
I gave her 1/2 of the piece back, because I am size 122.
I love her compassion and regard for others.
It challenges me.
In such a good way.
sweet girl. with a big, giant, kind, generous heart.
