Milking Independence

As Cici has gotten older she wants to spread her wings and gain more independence from us. As parents our role is to help her make wise choices and teach her about more responsibility.

Tonight was a big step for her, as she has been asking us for a while, we granted her more independence today.

On her own, with the rest of her family waiting in the car, she went in our local grocery store, and bought some milk. I know, I know, we are crazy aren't we! How could we give our girl, only 7 so much freedom!!

She was so proud of herself, we watched as she went in, dissapeared to the milk aisle, watched her come back and vanish again out of our sight to the cashier, then reamerge again, milk and change in hand.
