clean and laundry. definitely not two of my favorite things to do, but a necessity nonetheless.
with each week i find these somewhat routine tasks becoming a bit harder to
accomplish. my growing belly and inability/attempt not too lift items heavier than
my children make for a less than graceful approach to this duty.
i had a helper today. no, this is not the first time she has attempted to aid in my day-to-day
mommy duties...no doubt about it, ella loves to clean. i often times find that i have a shadow
throughout the day, in the form of my daughter. she actually likes to do these less
than entertaining jobs. today was no exception and made me realize that it may be time
to start giving her a few daily chores along with an allowance..maybe teach her a little responsibilty.
i had just finished two rather large loads of laundry, but was still not finished with
my dusting and vacuuming. so, i threw all the clothes, towels and what-nots on
my bed....i would get to it when i could. i came back into the room to check on the girls...
there sitting on my bed was miss ella in deep concentration attacking the mountain of laundry.
she sat there for the next hour, refusing any help that i continued to offer, and
folded every last piece. not only did she fold, but she organized everything into piles. each
person or room had it's own section. i think the thing that surprised me the most was the
fact that she had folded every article of laundry exactly as i do. exactly.
there was no need for me to re-fold or re-organize. hmmm, at this rate i may be able
to sit on my bottom all day and eat bon bons. okay so not really, but it does sound nice.
the pile of laundry was behind her...check out that organization
her face looked like this for most of the time
