I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I have the sweetest girl of all time. She is always doing something kind and she just makes me so proud.

Today, we pretty much stayed inside doing nothing. It was overcast but really humid and was the perfect day to catch up on some tv and snuggles. We’ve been spending a LOT of time outside (mostly in the pool). We’ve been doing activities on our “Summer to-do list” and having so much fun. Since it’s summer, the kids are staying up later, and we are generally just having a blast with each other. This explains my lack of blogging, but all is well here.

So today, I mentioned to the kids that we needed to go to the vet to pick up heart worm medication for Ranger. Taylor asked me why he needed it and I explained the reasons. She asked if the vet just gives it to me, and I told her that we had to pay for it first, but then we would bring the medicine home. She looked puzzled, and then said “Mom, can you help me reach my piggy bank, please?” She came out of her room with five crumpled one dollar bills and a dime. She brought them to Ranger to show him and told him that she wanted to help pay for his medicine to keep him healthy. She stuffed the money in her purse, and off we went, nightgown and all.

Clearly, heart worm medication costs much more than $5, but she didn’t know that. All she knew was that Ranger needed something, and she wanted to help contribute. She loves him so much, and the feeling is quite mutual! She asked him to pose for a picture with the medicine so she could always look at the picture to see how happy and healthy he is. I mean, come on! Does it get any sweeter than that?

Heart of gold.
