Drew and Rachel spent most of the day together on Saturday at her swim lesson, the haircut place, etc. He gave her $1 from her allowance to buy a tchotcke at Claire's, a boutique that is in malls all over the country. She bought a stuffed neon green-and-blue cheetah, with huge bug eyes that I would be scared to encounter if I were drunk and in the dark. She was so proud of using her OWN MONEY to buy what she wanted!
Guess we'll start her on mutual funds next.
One of the things they did was bike to the park near our house. On the way back, Rachel insisted on pedaling up the steep hill to our house (which even I didn't do when I biked the W&OD trail when we moved here; I just walked the bike up the hill). Drew told her she didn't have to pedal, it was steep hill.
Her reply: "Girl Scouts don't give up!"
I love this kid.
