Sometimes you...You are absolutely right about that. Sometimes you just have to let them get dirty to realize that its not as fun as it looks. Boo likes to "help" me wash dishes. I usually do them right before his bath time so it doesn't matter that he gets a presoak!Mall Workerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303386226747294887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010349.post-61313945993140591262007-03-06T16:31:00.000-06:002007-03-06T16:31:00.000-06:00I'm glad you let her "help" out.

I have a hard time letting it go sometimes too but it's worth it when you see the smiles on their faces. <BR/><BR/>Leelee loves to use the rolling pin and cutters when we bake or "wash" the unbreakable dishes in the soapy water. She may make a mess but the amount of time it takes to clean it up is way less than fighting about why she can't do something.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795520588490925799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010349.post-36209813774373800002007-03-06T15:12:00.000-06:002007-03-06T15:12:00.000-06:00Whoa, when did Miss A become all "big girl" alread...Whoa, when did Miss A become all "big girl" already?! Look at her - she looks so mature! I love the "ho hum" expression. How neat that she was able to help out. Yes, these are the fun moments in life. Even with my 3rd, I forget about them all the time. Or maybe because it's my third and I know what kind of damage can be done? Thanks for reminding all of us to keep the spirit of childhood. :)Lynannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02416883491055528952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20010349.post-11925069221150072562007-03-06T10:20:00.000-06:002007-03-06T10:20:00.000-06:00and you will relearn and relearn and then learn it...and you will relearn and relearn and then learn it all better as you go (at least that is the case with me)!<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I have no idea that a kiddo has hit a milestone until they just DO, and I have to do exactly what y'all did... sort of make a sustained "flinch face" and let them do it.<BR/><BR/>It's always messy though.
