Sweet Lists

Today Sweet M's girls' running and self-esteem group had their last meeting and celebration.

She came home with a goody bag and a beautiful pair of lists. On one side of a sheet of paper is a list of "positive things that people see in me," filled in by her team mates. On the other side of the sheet is a list of things she's grateful for.

This is what the first list says (all spellings are from the girls' original list):

• appreciates being outside!
• motivated to RUN!
• Energentic
• Energentic!
• focused and determined
• energetic
• Love to run
• Has great blu eyes
• A great BFF
• Cool
• Nice complexion
• Always ready to run
• (or do anything)
• Speaks your mind

I'm fascinated that she's got someone as a BFF. Very interesting. Have to follow-up on that.

And this is Sweet M's list of things she's grateful for:

• books
• small dogs
• ♥
• puppy's
• sweet ice cream
• IPhone
• Have Fun
• Pokemon
• ☮ (a peace sign)
  
• cake
• earth day
• music
• Tree's toys
• Games
• animals
• TV dog's
• YouTube
• 1742
• cartoon's
• relax

I understood most of the items on her list — ice cream, tv, small dogs — but "1742"? What's up with that? She's already asleep, so I'll have to ask her tomorrow.

And she's grateful for the iPhone. Gotta love that in the girl — she grateful for things she doesn't even have (yet).

Finally I guess we have some work to do on the difference between plurals and possessives. But that's no harder than a 5K.
