And if you can stand it, I just need to do a wee bit more. I am so very proud of her. It really is very fulfilling to watch her literally blossom in front of our eyes. She worked so very hard\u00a0 to get the cookie orders put together. She read the orders and filled out the thank you and payment slips, while J. and Addie pulled the cookie boxes together and then I bundled them up all pretty-like. It was a nice little assembly line we had going on.<\/p>\n<p>But then, while J. and I were out yesterday afternoon, Em went and made special thank you notes for all of her customers who bought a lot of boxes. And that is why I have to make this my Best Shot for this fine Monday.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"DSC_0065.jpg by Voris, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/voris\/4378224168\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2748\/4378224168_cc3123f8c6_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0065.jpg\" width=\"700\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Beyond the chaos, Em&#8217;s bedhead and jammies, and the hundreds of boxes of cookies we have to get delivered, I only see my sweet little girl working so hard to become a responsible big girl.
