Helping...sort of

Emma is such a good helper. When I cook, she is getting to know what I need, and just gets it out for me. She also enjoys helping take the trash out...or just doing it all herself...including replacing the old bags. However, this week especially she has tried to help in ways that were not so helpful. Cleaning up her own messes has proven to be more of a problem than the actual messes themselves. I definitely need to pay better attention. As she gets older, and she can do more things, i try to let her do them, but I'm sensing we need to reign her in a little bit.

Cleaning lip gloss off the wall...cleaning up her own messes isn't really much of a punishment for her. Yesterday I was frustrated enough to not let her help clean up her mess, after she tried, twice, to do it herself.
