Scarlet has been in manic whiny mode so it was muzac to my ears when she was invited to a play date and then dinner with her "cousin" (really my cousin's son) Cale. She was gone from the hours of 3pm-9pm. Good cleansing breath.
I was doubly pleased to hear the report that she was on her best behavior the entire time Excellent manners during dinner and entertained her fellow diners with her comedic one liners and banter that make grown ups chuckle. "Did she just say THAT?!" Ha ha ha ha.
And somehow no whining. Thank heavens.
Worst Part of the Day-
It was literally 1 degree Fahrenheit today. I took Scarlet to the hardware store to find something caulk or adhesive-related to attempt to fix a bathroom sink that is pulling away from the wall.
So we ran our errand "just the girls", as she says, in this ridiculous cold. We were efficient in finding what I thought we needed. As soon as we returned home we went to work. She was holding and I was caulking. Scarlet loves to help so was pleased as punch to repeat how "the girls" were getting things done and fixing the house. Look at us!
Well, well. Somehow it didn't do the job. I need to let Scarlet know that "the girls" need to find someone who knows how to do this type of (I'm sure quite basic) task.
