My Little Helper Part II

Avery has helped me put clothes in the dryer for a while now. I'm beginning to think she's a perfectionist (or obsessive compulsive) like her momma because I'll set the clothes on the door to the dryer, and she'll shove them in. If they get piled up too high in the front, it bothers her, and she'll squirm until she's balanced on the door and arranges the clothes until they are all even from front to back.

The other day she ran up to the door of the laundry room while I was putting a load into the washing machine. "Avery do dat!" was what I heard, and she promptly started handing me clothes. For the second load later on, she was not pleased to just hand me clothes. She wanted to "do it self!"

So, I pulled a stool up to the washing machine and started handing her clothes. She was quick to arrange them in the washer just as even as in the dryer. At one point it started spinning before we finished putting the clothes in and she said, "close up!" and slammed the lid.

I'm glad she is already a hard worker at such a young age. I know these little chores will not be so much fun once she's 12 or 13, but I have pictures to prove that she once did enjoy it.
