1. Almost every time I walk into the house, Lily comes running to see me and greets me with "MOMMY! I glad to see you Mommy! Look! I got something for you!" and then she runs into the living room or playroom, and shows me a book or a puzzle or whatever she happened to be playing with recently. So, when I came in from work yesterday, I wasn't surprised to get this greeting. I turned the corner to the living room though, and she says "I cleaning Mommy!" Sure enough, she had been moving all the toys from the living room back into her playroom, and she was putting them away neatly. Not only did I love how nice the rooms looked, but I loved how proud of herself she was! You could just see she was so proud of her cleaning accomplishment. So, I started to tell her how good it looked, how I appreciated her hard work and how proud of her I was, but she just kept saying "Hold on, hold on. I still cleaning. Hold on, hold on." She took about 5 more minutes of cleaning before every single toy, book, puzzle, kitchen item, Little People, baby doll accessory, blanket and pillow were neatly put away. It was great to come home to a clean house and a very happy and proud little girl! How long will a child keep this up before deciding cleaning isn't fun? I will enjoy it while I can!
2. Lily has really started to love sharing a bagel with strawberry cream cheese on it with me for breakfast. She likes to bite right into the middle of the it though, so it gets cream cheese all over her lips. Yesterday, she did this, started giggling and said "I have bagel lips!"
