Such A Helper!!

Emma LOVES to help! She is at that age where she wants to do whatever Mommy is doing and she really does help do quite a few chores each day.



Such a ham!!!! She loves to put away the spoons and forks. It makes her quite mad when we are loading it with dirty stuff rather than emptying it!! She thinks that every time it is opened, she should be allowed to help put away!!

She can just barely reach the drawer to slip each utensil into. Mommy has to then place them in their correct place OR back in the sink, when she decides to put them in her mouth on the way to the drawer.

Here is THE fave part of the whole event... closing the door!! She gets quite put out if you close it before she gets there!!


Emma loves to help feed the cats twice a day; She helps me take the laundry to the laundry room; Puts away silverware; Gets her won diaper when it is time for a change; Cleans up her own toys after every play time; and she loves to take my shoes and put them away-even if I am wearing them!! BUT, my closet is usually closed while Daddy's is always open, so when I can't find my shoes I have to look in his closet. If I dare to kick one off for a few minutes, she is on it!!

very cute..
Take full advantage of this wanting to help. Soon enough she will realize it is a chore and not want to. My kids have to do chores too, but it is not nearly as fun as they used to think it was. JB is just now getting to the point where he is realizing that it is something besides play time. :)
