I'm a helper

Over the past few months, I've really become interested in helping out. You may have seen pictures of me washing tables. I did a great job helping Mommy wipe up the water I sprinkled all over the table today. I have been throwing things in the garbage for a long time. I usually only put things in, but that time that I took out a kleenex and blew my nose with it convinced my parents that they should still keep the lock on the door. Even though I can get it open by myself, they can hear me banging the door in the process so they get a little warning. I help Mommy with laundry by putting the wet clothes in the dryer. And I love to brush the kitty and scoop fresh litter for Mommy to put in the litter box. She won't let me put it in there, though. I'm such a big and helpful girl. My latest self-appointed chore is bringing Mommy her coffee cup when she leaves it on a table that is within my reach. I know how much she likes her coffee. I made it halfway up the stairs with her New York City mug this morning before she stopped me and got some paper towels to help me clean up the spills. I did a really great job carrying that mug until I got to the steps. They are so tricky!

Thanks for all the help, Ellie! She spent about a half hour helping me pick beans out of their dried pods then putting the dried beans in a cup and the pods in a pile. I couldn't believe how well she was able to tear the pods open, pull out the beans, then sorting the pods from the beans.
