Kids are capable of more than you think.

I sent ALL THREE girls to a Little Siblings Camp Monday-Wednesday this week and it was life.

My three-year-old was potty-trained the week prior.
She usually naps during the camp hours.
And while I had coached her sisters to help her, I fully expected to be called about a meltdown or an accident.

But do you know what? I didn't.

Her older sisters helped her use the bathroom.
They helped her eat lunch.
They put her swimsuit and sunscreen on.
And I felt like a taco making, garage fixing, talk filming, and blog drafting productivity Energizer bunny back home.

I'm so proud of little Emily.
I'm doing a happy dance that, for the first time in seven years, we're diaper free.
I'm legit excited for a Preschool break two mornings a week this year.
And I'm so thankful for these siblings, without which this week wouldn't have been possible.

Ask the older siblings to help more. They live up to our expectations.

And they are capable of way more than you think.
