Mommy's Little Helper

Emily loves to help around the house. Over the past few months, she has started to do more and more. Her regular chores include helping me hang up clothes, loading/unloading the silverware in the dishwasher, sweeping, loading the washing machine, and picking up her toys. I love that she wants to help me around the house, not that she always makes things easier, but they are more enjoyable. Which is a big plus for someone who dislikes housework as much as I do.

Emily helping me reminds me of myself when I was little. I have pictures of myself when I was around 3 or 4 years old in a Hawaiian dress, big floppy hat, and my toy push mower that I used to vacuum the floors with. They used to call me "Sadie the Cleaning Lady". I have no idea where that came from, but I remember it. If I was a good blogger, I would take this moment to upload a picture of myself dressed as Sadie and place it next to a photo of Emily helping to sweep up the floors, but I think we all know not to expect so much out of me.
