Lately

She's a helper, that's for certain. Unloading the dishwasher, putting wet clothes in the dryer, changing the sheets...she's all up in some homemaking tasks. Today, it was watering the flowers.



And then watering the new flagstone path. And then the new plants that haven't been planted. And then her belly, her feet, my shoes, the steps. Busy little thing, figuring it all out.




I'm trying not to say "no" as much, but rather embrace her ideas and roll with them....hence the watering of every surface in our backyard this morning. And after she was finished watering, she declared "baf time, mama. Durt on me." Which led to a 45 minute bath time without actually being bathed. It was relaxing for the both of us. Have you read the new House Beautiful? I have now!



We are looking forward to a long, do nothing but enjoy each other weekend. Hope yours is a good one.

Love these pictures! She's so cute!

I'm trying to say "yes," too. If it's not destructive or dangerous or unkind, I'm willing myself to allow it. :)

Adorable! H is really into "helping" me with everything lately. I'm praying for patience because tasks get done a lot more slowly. We should meet with the girls for gelatto at Cheffie's some afternoon. Or meet without them after bedtime! :-)

I love this. The hams are so smoochable. We might be able to have a competition on the diameter on those sweet little pieces of meat. :)
My girl is quite the helper, also.Imagine that! She likes to help hold the hose while I water. She takes the job very seriously. I'm glad you mentioned catching up on your reading material during bath time. I've moved my stack of magazines to her bathroom, and I'm beginning to make progress with my "reading." :)
