"Mooooooommmmyyyyyyy! Where are my shoes?!" Raina yelled throughout the house to finish off her colorful outfit for our trip to the park.

It was officially summer break for this little chipmunk and she was excited to spend more time with me after we got back from the beach. I was amazed at how much time she wanted to spend with me. She would come into my room and wonder what I was reading. She would bring her books in my room and read to me. We even wrote a couple of words together and started our own little story.

I really wonder how I got so lucky to be part of this little girl's life. She is like the brightest star in a sky full of stars.

Loraina was nothing like your typical seven year old. She was smarter than people thought. She may not speak like it, but she was more knowledgeable than any second grader I worked with.

Nowadays, children are so caught up in social media because they have access to it and they like to be nosey. They watch shows that aren't exactly appropriate for their age group and are easily influenced by what's happening around them. They're living in a technology world that they didn't ask to be in. It was just pushed into it.

Loraina was different. Not to toot my own horn but I'd like to say I was the driving force behind all of that. Had Auntie Rena not taken little Raina under her wing, Carmon would have pushed this technological craving onto her. The only thing that Raina likes to do with technology is watch TV and play video games. That's just the way I like it. She's too young for all of this new-aged stuff. That makes me sound so old, but it's true.

Anyway, Carmon tumbled from her room with Raina's blue tennis shoes that had the diamonds at the tips of them. Those were shoes that I got her for her birthday since we didn't get to celebrate it exactly. Raina wanted to dress herself for this trip and she decided to wear some shorts with leggings underneath with her blue 'free hugs' t-shirt. Lets not forget the little high pigtails she put in her hair with blue ribbons. That's my girl.

As Carmon came out of her room looking like a mummy, I couldn't help but eye the oven clock. It was 11 in the morning and this girl was still sleeping. She was hanging out with Jana for way too long. Usually, she's up by now and she didn't do any partying last night.

"Here ya go, girly. You have fun and be nice to your Auntie Rena. Understand?" Carmon explained as she kneeled by Raina and attempted to put her shoes on her. Little did she know...

"Mommy, I can do it. Let me do it," Raina said as she took the shoes and put them on herself. She may have taken a while to do it, but she tied her shoes on her own and Carmon looked at me with so much shock in her eyes. Once again, I say...that's my girl.

"Rena, how'd my baby learn how to tie her shoes so soon?" Carmon asked standing up from the ground and folding her arms.

"I taught her. You can't hear her singing the shoe-tying song?" I smiled as we overhear her singing the song while still struggling to tie her shoes.

"You make a looptie loop and pull and...NOOOOOOO! Start all over," Raina grunted in an aggravated way as she undid them and tried again. That's something else she was taught. To always try again until she got it right. Like myself, she was determined to do something until it was right. It may not be the first time she'd get it right, but she never stopped until it was right.

"Well, look at you. Might as well call you Raina's mother, huh?" My ears heard a bothered Carmon right before I saw her march off towards her room.

You'd think that she would be all lovey dovey since she spent her whole weekend with her boss, his child, and Raina. A jealous feeling came off of her as I saw her strut back to her room and I didn't want her to feel like I was taking all of Raina's attention.
