This has been a GREAT week for us! Monday as I was getting ready to do the Bugg's laundry I give her the basket and tell her to put all of her clothes from her hamper into the basket and bring it to me. Well, she gets all the clothes out of it that she can reach (still a little on the short side) and then pushes the basket out of her room and down the hall to the bathroom where I'm gathering towels. She then pushes it with the towels the rest of the way to the baby gates in the kitchen. She even helped me toss the clothes in the machine and push the start button! Afterwards she sat on the bed while I hung up David's and my clothes and helped organize my socks. Since I wear patterned socks(with cats, monkeys..you name it on them) its easy for her to pair them together.
Tuesday I had to vaccum and get the house somewhat in order, once again she chipped in and helped out by carrying things or pushing them where I pointed to. When I cleaned the hall bathroom she helped hold the dust pan!
Thursday I had to do a little grocery shopping for our guests that are due today. As I was bringing in the groceries a bag fell out, so she picked up the bag and brought it in for me! Then when it was time for lunch she went to the fridge and tried to open it, when I got the door open for her she reached in and took her lunch meat and pointed as the cheese drawer for her slice of cheese. She'll even get the juice out of the fridge for me if its light enough for her to carry so I can refill her bottle.
Today we went over to moms for a bit, in the car we listened to the Doodlebops and she had her dolls with her and I could see her in the rearview mirror making them dance as she sang along with her cd. We went by the bookstore today (college one where I work occasionally) and she raided Cindy's (the accountant) Mardi Gras bead stash. I wish I had the camera with me as she was as decked out as she could get and weighed about 5lbs more than normal by the time she was done!
Oh, the picture is her in her new favorite spot in the living room. Now that we've turned that corner into her play space she enjoys sitting at the window watching for squirrels and people walk by. It'll be nice this summer when its stays light later and she can watch for her daddy to come home. Star loves this area too because she can turn into her "solar pup" self while Freyja's napping and soak up her much loved sun!
Well, our company should be on the road soon to come and see us. So expect some new pix Monday after all the excitement has died down and I have my house back to normal again. Cleaning should get alot easier (and more fun!) now that my little mover and groover has also become a little mommy's helper! Gotta love'em!!
