When a 17-Month-Old Attempts to Dress Herself - Front and Back Views for Your Added Viewing Pleasure

The Barbie shirt is actually one of Emmy's nightdresses; the socks are Adam's; and the bloomers are from the 2-piece outfit that came from Gramaw and Poppy for St. Patrick's Day. If this is what happens at 17-months, then we're all in trouble when she's 16! YIKES!!!

Laundry

After running around like a chicken with my head cut off last week - it was VBS week at Church, and I was in charge of snacks for 135 kids and toddlers - I've kinda ignored the laundry room. So like any good Mommy, I spent yesterday and most of this morning playing catch-up and keep-up with ump-teen loads of clothes. As I was folding one load of the girls' clothes yesterday afternoon, Jillian decided she would help me sort and fold things. This is what it looked like about ten minutes into her "helping Mommy fold the laundry..."

I think she's still just a little young to help do anything other than put stuff in the washer and then help transfer wet stuff into the dryer. But, then again, she could surprise us all...

Hand Sanitizer Fanatic

I don't know why, but Jilly LOVES hand sanitizer. She came into the TV room this morning with the bottle saying "Mommy, more". Maybe she's just being conscious of the fact that she needs to keep her hands clean. I don't think that has anything to do with it. I think she likes it because it's cold and slimy.
