So Erica will be turning 6 in just a couple of weeks. She really showed me tonight how grown up she is becoming when she came in the room with her favorite Hannah Montana folder with a ziploc baggie in it with a heart pencil, a tiny box of nerds and a note saying "Dear Summer, I am sorry. Please come back and play again. Love Erica" Now to back up a little, earlier this week, her friend Summer was over playing for an hour. Erica was being obnoxious, kind of show off, turning lights on and off really fast, calling Summer, Sunburn, things like that. Well turns out, Summer had hurt feelings and felt like Erica was being mean and told her family she didn't want to come back. Little brother tells Erica, who tells me, I ask the other mother, and have a little talk with Erica about how this kind of behavior hurts peoples feelings. Erica went to school, and that was the end of it. I did plan on having a longer discussion about it later, but hadn't yet, when she brought me her note and gift. Hours later. I was so proud. She thought of and wrote the letter and made the "care package" all on her own. So of course, I cried like a little baby. Proud tears....
