Tory's in this sweet spot lately where she's so helpful and cooperative. Just a minute ago, I walked into my bedroom and opened my mouth to tell her to pick up the magnetic dress-up dolls strewn across my bed only to see Tory had done it already. "Did you pick all those up?" I asked her, as she bobbed her head yes in agreement. "I, uh, thank you Sweetie!" It's moments like this that stop me in my tracks because this girl of ours is smart and funny, compassionate and
responsible ... well, as responsible as a three-and-a-half year old can be. She amazes me!
One thing Tory requests to do quite often is wash dishes. Sure, she makes a bit of a water mess in the kitchen and I end up tossing all her "clean" dishes in the dishwasher anyway ... but I fill up the sink without question because she's offering to help me with a chore and I want to respect and reward that behavior.
Someday washing dishes won't be such a novelty, but until then ... have at it, Kid!
Oh my gosh that is freaking precious - that picture of her tiptoeing on the stool! Love this one!
ReplyDeleteLove those little toes!
ReplyDeleteMy girls like doing the dishes too. I'm hoping they still want to when they're teenagers ;)
The tippy toes! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to let her help wash dishes. I've got to get Riley on that stat. Also love the perspective of the tippy toes.
