My Amazing 5 Year Old Adult

I've had a crappy week. Today was not much of an exception. In addition to the source of my crappy week, C (the girl I babysit) and Everett fought all day, again. They're both having to learn to share and not be the boss. (Everett's never had a little sibling, and C's never had any.) It's no different when you add a little one to any family. When Chloe came home, she worked it out! She helped them share and take turns and compromise. I realized something her teacher said in her evaluation, that she's got creative problem solving skills, definitely one of her talents. She comes at problems with different ideas than I would have ever come up with and often finds a solution. It was amazing watching her with them. We worked at building the garden wall and she helped when I asked, with no complaints, gave me her "toys" as I needed them, and even helped check on C for me at one point when she had gone inside and came to the window looking sad. She was amazing! And she usually is, especially lately. I wish I could enumerate all the ways she's been so amazing. So I said, "Chloe, you're the Best Kid EVER!" She said, "yeah, I'm trying to make good choices because I can't WAIT to go live with Heavenly Father and Jesus again!" Yes, we had talked about that before, a while ago. But still, isn't that amazing?! She's 5 years old for pete's sake! My 5 year old adult. And I love her to pieces. Oh, and here's the funny part. She said, "yeah, I can't wait because sometimes Earth is kind of boring."
