I know and understand that this is a developmental thing that probably most, if not all, infants go through, but would seriously like to know what the fascination of pulling things off tables, emptying book cases, completely cleaning out drawers, etc. is. I leave a room for what seems like just seconds and return to find that Jade has completely emptied a drawer of clothes, cleaned out our food cabinet in the kitchen, and/or pulled every book off the shelves. I ask her what she's doing and she just looks at me and smiles as if she knows she's making a mess for me to clean up! This new found skill she has does however come in handy while unloading the dishwasher and folding laundry. Yes, I do make sure things like knives and pizza cutters are out of reach or taken out of the dishwasher immediately before I let Jade help me with the dishes. She stands at the dishwasher and hands me the clean dishes one by one so I can put them away. If I don't put them away fast enough for her, she drops whatever is in her hand and grabs the next closest dish. When we do laundry, she is really good at taking things out of the dryer and putting them in. It's fun to watch her concentrate on a task that is so mindless and simple to us.
I think my Mom has the same or similar pictures of me doing the exact same things...
She looks so sweet and innocent...
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope to get another post in over the long weekend so stay tuned.
