Ellie really is a good helper. Today Ellie decided to come grocery shopping with me. She was good company. She helped me find things, she held coupons, she excitedly helped load things onto the belt for checkout. I was glad to have her along for the ride.
I have found that Ellie is so excited to do something positive for me. I do appreciate her eagerness and I hope that it's enough for her. Sarah mentioned to me a while ago that it's so obvious Ellie's aim is to please me and get my approval. I honestly hadn't seen it as clearly as she had, which may make me a bad mom.
I need to find a way to help her know how much I appreciate her and help her feel like the grown up little girl she wants to be.
