Life Lesson from Andrea Hope

These past few weeks Andrea's been busy. She went back to school after the break. Andrea has been working hard to earn money for an American Girl Doll. She also is learning to ride her bike, with the help of daddy. Oh did I mention she decided she wanted to do gymnastics so we've added cartwheels into the mix? (Thus the funny video of Andrea's cartwheel attempts.) Andrea was looking distraught yesterday as she looked at me. She said, "I am trying to do all these chores to earn money for my doll, but then I have homework every night, and I need to go outside and practice riding my bike. I JUST DON"T HAVE ENOUGH TIME IN THE DAY FOR EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO!" I chuckled. My 6 year old daughter was realizing she needed to set priorities of the tasks she needed to do. A lesson that will surely resurface itself again and again throughout life.
