My mommy and daddy…..

I dont have to much of a memory of my biological parents, I was very young when I met my foster family. I was fortunate to get a good family, that made me feel loved and wanted.

When I turned 4, mama sat me down, and told me I needed to start learning how to care for myself alittle better. That Id be starting school next year, I wouldnt always have the help around me. She said her and daddy would be showing me different things, some I might like and there might be some I dont. But it was all a part of growing up and becomming alittle more independent.

When Daddy came home fom work, I told him what mommy had told me, I was excited to start learning all this new stuff, daddy sat me down and started to talk. He said some of the things that they were going to show me was for older kids, but he felt I was really mature for my age, and he thinks I can handle it. He told me I needed to be a big girl from now on and if I felt there was something I couldnt do, I needed to tell them. But if I commit to it then I needed to follow through, like a grown up does. Of couse, I wanted to be a big girl, I told Daddy id do anything he wanted me too. He smiled, kissed my forehead, said we would start tonight.
After dinner, we all watched a movie together. Me and daddy laying on the couch together and mommy sitting in the chair. I started getting tired, daddy asked me if was ready to become a big girl. I jumped off the couch and said yes! He told me to run my bathwater, get in the tub and they would be there in a few.
Mommy was the first to come in, she asked me if I washed yet. I told her I got every spot cleaned!
