Helping Mommy




Hannah has just recently been able to follow instructions. One day while I was feeding Benjamin I was thinking about how I needed to clean up the living room, especially all of the Easter eggs scattered. So I looked at Hannah and said "Hannah, why don't you pick up your Easter eggs and put them in the basket." I was really just saying it knowing there was no way she would do that but to my surprise she walked over, picked up her basket, and started putting eggs in it! I had no idea she could comprehend a two part command like that! Wow!


So now she helps me put her blocks away and sometimes other toys. She also helps me load and unloan the dryer. Although I have to watch her because sometimes when I'm reaching to get clothes from the washer she starts putting the already clean and dry clothes back into the dryer!

Grace loads and unloads the dryerfor me too. Grace likes to unload the dishwasher. She hasn't figured out that the dirty dishes stay in the dishwasher.
