One of Allie's favorite things to say lately is, "is there anything I can do to help?" I love it when she says it; I also cringe sometimes because having a "helper" is usually more work for mom-and it has proven to be more work for Grammy but she hasn't seemed to mind (though the fact that she needs a power nap everyday is proof).
The girls have helped make breakfast
They have helped Grammy make some use out of all those old dance medals for mine and Steven's that she has been saving. The girls have been earning these for trying new foods and taking medicine.
We've helped Grammy go through all her records by throwing them down the stairs like Frisbees (breaking some in the process-meaning the pile will be made smaller because of this).
We have successfully sorted out the small ones (that fly really great) and the large ones (that make a nice loud thunk when hitting the floor).
Allie helped vacuum with Grammy's little vacuum that doesn't make too much noise which is perfect for Allie.
And we have helped grammy get in touch with her childhood side by playing Barbies-which has also helped to lose a few small pieces thus making the clean up a bit more of a breeze.
