My not so helpful helper!
No pictures today, just a funny story! Today I was in the basement doing some laundry when Mackenzie came down to "help". I was just finishing up folding the stuff from the dryer so she helped grab the last few socks. I then opened the washer and started to pull the laundry out. I love the smell of the fabric softener so I put the first handful up to my nose and smelled it. Anyway, I put in a few handfuls and then Mackenzie wanted to help. I would pull the stuff out, check it for stains then hand it to her to put in the dryer. After several handfuls I looked over at her and saw her putting every piece of clothing up to her nose. But, instead of smelling them, she blew her nose on each of them! At first I was mad because now I had to rewash the entire load and I still had a few loads waiting, but that only lasted a second because it was so funny watching her. She was so proud of the way she was helping. I asked her if she was smelling them and she told me no, that she had to blow he nose. Oh well. It only set me back a 34 minute wash cycle and gave me a great laugh for the day. Hope you are laughing to!

You inspire and amuse me (and have for quite some time!) You are an awesome parent! You have such a healthy parenting perspective! Thanks for reminding me to laugh rather than yell when my kids blow their noses on my plans (both literally and figuratively). :) I'm sure that Mackenzie especially gives you ample opportunities to choose laughter over screams. You should write a book! Thanks for the perspective lesson! Love, Marilyn
