Mina date

Mina likes to make little charts and set goals for herself (I admit that I strongly steer her in a good direction), where she gets to put a sticker in a box each time, and when it's all filled up, she picks a reward.  Recently she filled up her chart for going to the bathroom ALL by herself, like 20 times.  YAY!  For her special treat, she wanted to go on a "date" with me!  So fun.  I always enjoy getting one-on-one time with the kids.   They are so different that way.  Mina and I went for ice-cream and to the library.  Her favorite ice-cream is cherry or strawberry, but I couldn't really tell, because all she did was eat the cherry on top (maybe that's what she meant??) and the whipped cream.  She also got a balloon at the ice-cream shop, which was a big highlight of our night out!  I also learned that when she grows up she wants to drive a RED volkswagen Beetle (which I remember wanting when I was little).  When I asked her where she wants to live, she said at a waterpark hotel, of course, that WOULD be the coolest!
