Emily's Responsibilities

We have always encouraged Emily to help with chores around the house. In the past month, we have given her two assignments that are solely her responsibility: feed Hannah and make her own bed. She's done really well with these assignments (although, making her bed has become more difficult due to her new tall bed). We were so tickled this morning as she immediately started making her bed after she woke up. She heard a noise in the hall and shouted, "Hi, Daddy!" A moment later she announced, "I making Emily bed pretty." We peeked in the room and sure enough, she was on her bed, humming to herself as she pulled the covers up.
