In the week leading up to the big day, she was eagerly planning how things would go down. She used the new iPod Touch she got for Christmas to painstakingly create this shopping list:
Her OCD mother couldn't be more proud. I can only imagine how much time she spent typing this out, getting it lined up right, thinking things through. I love it!
I know she gets these traits from me, but I swear I wasn't this organized when I was a kid. That only truly kicked in when I was an adult, I think. So is it more nature or nurture? Is she hard-wired to be organized, or did she learn from our examples, or maybe it's a combination of both?
Amy always wants to know exactly how things are going to go down. What time are we leaving? How long will it take to get there? Who's going to be there? How long will we stay? When I get home, do I have time to read before bed? I guess it's how she helps order her world, where things are so often completely out of her control.
I know these are skills that will serve her well!
