Time Gain

I feel like we have gained about an hour a day, at least on the weekends. Little C has begun helping clear the table after meals. She thinks it's a very fun game. We hand her something and ask her to take it to the sink, garbage, recycling or even the bathroom. And off she goes putting everything in the right place. Then she comes running back for more. This allows big C and I to sit around and talk and visit a little after each meal. This weekend we've even been working on a crossword together. She only put things in the wrong place once, after lunch today our plates, and forks got thrown away, but other than that she is spot on. She has even corrected me, I've asked her to put a few thinks that are recyclable into the garbage and she looks at me funny and put them in the recycling.

Little C has always liked to help, yesterday she went out to "help" big C shovel. Actually she doesn't have a shovel yet, but she did enjoy the snow.

We've set up a tent in the living room for little C, and she's turning it into a nice cozy nest for her self. She even plays by herself in there for a while now.
