Preferences

This morning Sys was bored.  Her solution?

Clean out her drawer.

(Each of the girls has their own drawer in a small table in our living room.  They can keep anything they want in their drawer....as long as the drawer closes and nothing sticks out.  If I catch something sticking out, then I can intervene and clean out their drawer myself.....trashing anything that I desire.)

In the midst of the clean out, she came across an old foam necklace craft.  The string didn't stay tied and she kindly asked, without frustration, if I could help put the beads back on and retie the string.  Always glad to encourage the kind words, I proceeded to help out. 

There were some beads that had fallen off, so I asked Sys if she cared what order the beads were placed back on the necklace.  Her response:

"No. Anything is fine......as long as they are darkest to lightest."
