Move Over, Martha

Today's dinner was pasta bolognese. Linnea eats this with her fingers; it's very... red.

I was in exile upstairs - in Sick Bay, if you will - and she and Rob were dining together, tete a tete. When she had finished what was on her plate, and demanded more pasta (man, that girl enjoys her pasta!) Rob got one of her face-flannels from the basket we keep behind her chair, and a bit to the right, where she can't reach it, and went into the kitchen to make it warm and damp, suitable for baby / tomato intervention.

When he returned, she had reached the basket of wipes and bibs, and was industriously wiping the tomato sauce off her high-chair tray.

:-) What a clever girl! I remember when my kids were tiny they were so good at please and thank you's ... sadly, that stopped being the case pretty soon. Hope your prodigy doesn't lose this particular early skill and aptitude for clearing up after herself! :-)))

Jack helps with cleaning and putting-away quite often. As hioho says, at this age they think it's a game and they want to play, but that doesn't last...
