"All done"



Lilly is such a big help! She loves to help put the groceries away (pull all the food out of the pantry and grocery bags), fold the laundry (pull the clothes off the couch into a large pile on the floor which she then proceeds to chew on), put the clothes in the dryer (or in her case pull them out), wipe herself and her tray off after breakfast and dinner, and most of all she loves to help do the dishes. If she sees you in the kitchen or hears the dishwasher open she is right there ready to help. It's quite funny how fast she crawls. She has recently learned how to push and pull the bottom tray and she always tries to help by pulling out the dishes and setting them on the floor, sometime she takes a break after this sitting down among her dishes to admire her work and then she'll push in the bottom and she squats down and with all her might as if she is lifting a large rock lifts the door and pushes it till it's almost closed. Then she pulls it back down and pulls the bottom tray out and starts all over again. I have given up on trying to do the dishes when she starts doing this because i can't help but let her sweet and helpful self go at it. I just try to encourage her and let her know how thankful I am for all of her help. Her big smile says it all..."I am happy to help momma".
