Hubby made pancakes for the girls this morning before school. As I was walking through the kitchen I came across Ashley's plate.
Though she's nine years old, she still can't cut her food very well due to her disability, so Lance had cut both pancakes up for her. She'd eaten the middle out of her pancakes and left the entire outside edges. She has a tendency to do this with everything--from food to life. She targets the good stuff--and leaves the rest.
Is this a waste? Sure. Did I tell her to eat the rest of her breakfast? No. I don't like wasting food but I also don't want her to eat more if she's already full--and besides, she got the good stuff.
I think sometimes in life I nibble around the edges and don't go right for the good stuff, even though I know what the good stuff is and how to get to it. I simply don't....and that's entirely my fault.
I learn a lot from my Ashley Rose.
