"Nice Things"

Camille has a little notebook she likes to write things in. Every now and then I love to take a look and see what she's written...it's like a little look inside her mind. Today I found entries that made me smile, so I thought I should share.

The first selection is "Nice Things" (translation below pictures)...








"Nice Things"


Be kind.

and nice.

And be honest.

never hit. or kick.

be helpful.

and help your friends and somebody you do not know.

And do not push if they push you.

never steal something if they steal something that's yours.

never make funny faces at people.

never fight.

do not throw a fit.

if somebody gets hurt then pick them up and take care of them.

play with your friends if they are hurt.


The second selection is a "to-do" list she made (translation below):



1. Make your bed.

2. Make cards.

3. Do jobs.

4. Have ice cream.
5. Say "I love you."


I just love her little 5 year old "wisdom" about nice things. And I love that in her to-do list she included #4-Have ice cream. I agree that some days that just needs to be a priority! Aren't children wonderful?

Jennie, I hope you don't mind, you have always inspired me, so I follow your blog. This totally made my day... I think ice cream in moderation is a priority as well, thank you for sharing this message. It made my day!!!! Thank you again.
