Today was one of those great mommy-daughter days. It started after I got home from teaching 6am Bootcamp and Anna woke up calling “helloooo Mommy helloo” around 7:30am.
From that point on, I had a little mini-me on my hands. I showered while she brushed her teeth and read books on the bathroom floor and then we were off.
First stop was to the doctor’s office for a well-check and a flu shot. The appointment went late causing us to miss our playgroup which was a bummer.
But since Anna didn’t seem to affected by the shot, I decided to stop at a few faves on the way home.
She helped by pointing to things we needed and naming them: “appaw, gape, O’s, cacker, yo yo” I could go on…
When we got home, she helped me unpack the groceries into the family room.
That’s when she noticed we needed a few more things from the “store” and offered to pick them up herself.
Obvious necessities like: a remote control, another remote control, a mini bottle of water, and a few books.
After unloading them into a kitchen cupboard with the pans – where they belong, she started decorating the house for fall. I have clearly been slacking since we were out of town.
How could I have forgotten to put the pumpkins on the puzzle wheels?
She paused for a quick bite of apple and a great big “cheeeeese” then it was back to work making a sign for the fridge.
When that was done, she wanted to help with the dinner party. She immediately pointed out that I had not done a very good job decorating the silverware and they needed a little pumpkin flair.
So she set to work again.
Yes, if you come over for dinner you may wonder if your silverware has been on the floor. It’s a possibility. Luckily, I clean often with natural cleaner.
And then finally, after a hard day at work she greeted our dinner company with hugs and kisses.
Best helper ever.
Someone deserves a treat! There are baby coupons available for savings on toys and educational products.
That is my trifecta of stores!
The bag o’ crap game never stops. The girls love to just put random stuff in random bags and then I have the fun of putting the toy soup away. Wheeee!
