Laela did dishes this morning, which is different for her because she usually does supper dishes. However, Dekker is away, and she won’t be here to do her evening dishes, so it worked out! With her not usually doing breakfast dishes, she was slightly out of the loop, and I realized she was waiting for each kid to doddle their way through their food so she could add their dishes to the dishwasher. I would not have asked this of her, because some kids can eat forrrevvvvverrrrr. But I let it happen, because she was chatting and having fun and being friendly.
Wavy had finished an apple sauce cup, and Laela went to grab her spoon when she noticed the cup wasn’t scooped out as well as she deemed appropriate. Like the little mama she is, she scraped it out good and proper with the spoon and went to hold it up for Wavy to eat. In that moment they both realized what was happening, and burst out laughing. So began a game of “airplane” while Laela tried to feed Wavy a spoonful of apple sauce. Both were laughing so hard, it took WAY too long to actually get the last bite into her, but it was worth the time 💜
It was a really cute moment in time where Laela was accidentally maternal but no one was mad or bossy or fighting. It was just wholesome and adorable. I loved it.
Back to camp today! T-5 hours!
