Savannah is at that wonderful stage where she thinks she can do everything and anything by herself. It's great, it really is, and I try to encourage her to do as much as possible, because after all, that's how they learn, right? I take advantage of it, too, and have her run around and fetch things for me. ..."Savannah, go and get Mama's brush, ok?" She scurries off, and brings it back, and I say , "Thank you so much! You're so helpful!"
Today I was loading the dishwasher, an activity that thrills Savannah to no end. Hopefully she'll have retained this enthusiasm in about 8 years or so, but we shall see. I wasn't paying much attention to her as she moved her little Diego chair over to sit close by. I looked down in time to see her removing every dish that I had just put in.
"Savannah! No! What are you doing?"
She turned her sweet brown eyes on me and said, "So helpful, Mama!"
And there wasn't much of anything I could say to that.
