Pay Attention

I gave Lark a journal the Christmas she was 8 years old.  This entry was made a week latter.

January 1st, 2001

Dear Lark,

Last night you didn't feel well.  In fact, I stayed up all night cleaning up after you.  I was so glad I had your room clean so you could make it to the bathroom faster.

You loved visiting your cousin Bill on Saturday and seeing your Uncle Bill be baptised Friday night.

You gave Bill a tip on home-schooling.  You told hime to "pay attention."

You helped undecorate the Christmas tree today.  You also starred in a play with your sisters (performed for Dad and I).  It was "Goldilocks and the Three Bears."  We got your performance on video.
