Helping Mommy and Daddy with Groceries

I like to be a big help to Mommy and Daddy. Today Mommy went grocery shopping and then, as usual, Daddy helped unload them. This time Daddy let me help too! You can see he gave me the heavy stuff as he does the light work.



I also am learning to help around the house in other ways. I like getting Mommy or Daddy their shoes, and will even put them back if they ask me to. For Daddy especially, I like to help pick out the shoes I want him to wear, and then bring them over to him. Sometimes this means I want him to wear running shoes to work or dress shoes to go to the park, but if he gives me a little hint I'll get it right every time!

I'm also getting good at picking things up and putting them away, as long as Mommy or Daddy asks me to. I can even put them away in another room sometimes! Daddy asked me to go put something on their bed while we were in the family room, and I did!

I'm trying to practice cleaning things up, too. Such as if I spill some milk, Mommy can hand me a paper towel and I'll do my best to wipe it up. I'm even starting to wipe my own hands off and even my nose if it needs it!

I'm turning into such a helpful big girl!
