Trains!

I've finally figured out that when the play area is messy, the kids ask for more tv. When it's tidy over there, they play with their toys... which, of course, makes it a mess. It's a vicious cycle, but at least it's one I recognize. Well, we cleaned up yesterday and look what happened today!

It's a mess again, but they got out their trains!

Little Helper

I did some serious cleaning, sorting, and organizing this morning while Eric and the little dude were at swimming lessons. The baby had a blast rediscovering her old baby toys.

She even 'slept' in her Moses basket!

Making Them Work!

The kids helped me scrub the living room rug today. I think we might put it back in the dining room. Either way, it was nice having the extra help with the cleaning.

Look at them scrub!

Yogurt Beard

The baby is an incredibly messy yogurt-eater. I asked her to wipe her face after lunch the other day, and she grabbed the washcloth and wiped her brow. It was hilarious, but ineffective. Today she did a much better job.

She's so serious!

Cleanliness

Our daycare has an excellent hand-washing policy, so the baby has been washing her hands in a sink since March. She cruised over to the play kitchen yesterday, and look!

She's washing her hands!

Hilarious!
