Mommy's Little Helper...

Whenever I am doing something...

anything...

Rachel stops whatever

she is doing

and says,

"Help."

I tell her it is okay

 and that she can keep playing or reading,

but she says,

"Help, Momma."

and then she is right by my side...

helping.

It is the sweetest thing

 but it sometimes makes me feel guilty.

Childhood is short and goes fast

 from what I have seen already.

I just want her to enjoy it!

I have to keep telling myself that

she WANTS to help

and to just to let her.

I remind myself that

it is a learning process and

she wants to do what Mommt is doing

right alongside Mommy:).

She has such a

sweet,

generous,

nurturing,

helpful,

little personality...

at least this Momma thinks so.

Watching the cookies bake!

She is not going to let Momma burn them.

(I love the tiptoes:))

Licking the brownie spoon...

yum!

 Carrying the diaper bag into the house for me.

She loves to hike the groceries to the kitchen...

Yay!

She must have made 6 trips!

SO funny...

grunting and leaning on the wall at times.

I told her Mommy would carry the heavy ones!

She just laughed and kept going

until I took them away from her.

 Here she comes again! 

 This is how she kept running back...

laughing the whole time.

Then she'd hike another one

 or two bags back up the hallway...
(funny, you can see her pull-ups
and little sweatpants are too big in these pics)

She also

LOVES

to swiffer the hardwood floors!

Seriously, if I want to keep her busy for awhile...

I just put a clean swiffer pad on and let her go!

Cooking, gathering ingredients, measuring ingredients, cleaning up after eating, doing dishes, making iced tea, dusting, swiffering, making beds, laundry - washing, drying, folding and putting away, shopping, carrying groceries into the house, putting them away, taking Sheena out, getting her leash out and putting it away, wiping her paws, rewarding her with treats...

and the list goes on!

 There is just nothing

this little one doesn't want to help with.

I love and adore my

little helper.

I probably should save these pictures to

show her a few years from now...

when she doesn't want to help any longer.
