"Aunt Bethy, I'm mad at you..."

"Aunt Bethy, I'm mad at you! You are suppose to come over so I can walk with you and Ella and you haven't come. I even got new walking shoes!" ugh oh... I'm in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!


For those of you who know my sweet little niece Keely Parker, you know that is she is quite outgoing. Seriously 5 going on 25! She is so passionate about things and is not afraid to tell you what it is all about! If I had to guess, I would say that little Keely is a lot like me... especially when I was 5. All about the attention....

After I had Ella, I was very anxious to get outside. When it was nice, we were at the park or walking in Fredonia Village(my brothers neighborhood) where Keely would hop on her bike and cruise around the neighborhood with me! It was lots of fun and she is always good company. So then the exhaustion set in: sleep, Ella, work, Ella, home, Ella.... You see the pattern! So I kinda escaped my urges to exercise after a long day of work. Little did I know that I was being held accountable by a five year old who was anxious to spend that time with Aunt Bethy and Baby Ella! Boy do I feel bad...

1.) I hurt my poor nieces feelings, she was really looking forward to those walks!

2.) This just confirms my laziness!

Oh boy! I told her I would be there Monday afternoon... She's counting on me, I better do it! Sometimes it just takes a little encouragement from a 5 year old to get your butt in gear...
