Jaelyn can be stubborn and maddening at times. She gets angry easily and takes forever to calm down, but underneath all of that is a very sweet little girl who likes to do things for others. She's always helping me around the house Granted, she does earn money, but I don't expect her help. She normally offers it. My parents are coming to visit tomorrow and on Monday, Jaelyn asked me to take her to the dollar store so she could buy Baba a present. We bundled up against the rain and went after school on Tuesday. Jaelyn searched through the nicknacks looking for the perfect "breakable" present. She specified she wanted to buy something breakable which I thought was funny. Thankfully, she did listen to my advice and put back the funny looking dog and the crazy ceramic "rubber" duck in favor of a kitty cat picture frame to put a picture of her and Baba.
Jaelyn was also extra sweet to Allie today. A month or so ago, Jaelyn bought herself a tube of chapstick from the box top store at school. Last night, Jaelyn wouldn't let Allie use her chapstick and it caused a little uproar that Dan solved by getting my chapstick for Allie. Today was box top store again and Jaelyn came home with a key chain for her back pack and a tube of chapstick for Allie. Isn't that sweet? I just wish she'd show that sweet, thoughtful side more often!
