Yogurt

Elley is such a helpful little girl. It's painful sometimes to let her be a big girl and "help" me. For example.....after I'm done giving a haircut she knows that it's time to sweep. So, she goes and gets the broom and dust pan for me. She tries to sweep herself and then hands me the broom and says, "mommy do it." After I sweep everything up she wants to hold the dust pan and wants to walk it to the garbage. I know this is a very important step in her development, but come on, it's much faster and cleaner if I do it myself.

The other day Molly was playing on the floor and I put Elley at the table with some yogurt. I had to go into the other room for just a minute when I heard Elley getting into the bibs. When I came out she had a bib in her hand and she said, "mommy, baby bib." This whole time I hear Molly in the background smacking her lips, which I thought was her sucking on her hands. Elley was getting a bib for Molly because she was feeding Molly the yogurt. Good thing I was only out if the room for a minute. Molly seemed to like the yogurt and Elley was proud of herself for being a big help, although.....we did have a talk about babies and how they only drink milk.
