Angelie loves to help Mommy around the house. Now you think that would be a good thing, and when she's a little older I'm sure it will be, but right now it just takes two or three times as long to do anything.

Here she's helping me to unload the dishwasher -- one piece of silverware at a time...


After she pulls the piece of silverware out, she says "ta" and I have to take it from her, then I put it in the drawer and say "thank you". She gives me a big grin, so proud of herself and happy to be helping. Then she goes back for another piece, and it starts all over again.
