{The Ordinary Moments} #10: Mummy's little (un)helper

3/17/2014

16 Comments

 
It was just me and the Bean for a whole day on Saturday, as Mr P&P was off on a skiing jolly with his mates. Given all the horrid luck we've had with lurgies and teething recently, I was a bit nervous. Needn't have worried though - we had a grand old time together. 

In no particular order, we 
read a few books
had a little dance
toddled around at the playground
did some spring cleaning*

* I say "we"...

Aww, he's so very helpful!! And either I'm very slow on the uptake or you've had a redesign and it looks fabulous!

Thanks Carie! You're not slow on the uptake at all - I've been tinkering with the design for a while (can't leave it alone, actually!) and made the last change only about a week ago.

"But mummy...you did say you wanted to wipe down the cupboard....I'm just emptying it for you!"

Haha! In that case I must have a very clean cupboard, if the number of times he's helpfully emptied it is anything to go by!

You know I think he does actually want to help. He loves to load and unload the washing machine too, and 'sweep' the floors. It's very cute, I guess he likes to copy what I'm doing!

I love it too, though we do need to work a little on the execution!

No such luck, unfortunately - there was laundry to hang up! Although that did leave time for some tea and cake when he was asleep later :-) x

Two (un)helpers! You could start a little housekeeper business there ;-)

That's so funny. When my eldest was a little younger and I needed ten minutes to myself, I used to give him a toilet roll to play with. He loved unravelling it and wrapping it round himself.

You know that's exactly what I thought M would do, and I was astonished when he didn't! I guess we'll just have to wait a little longer for that happy discovery ;-)

I love this! Just this morning Elise "helped" me fold the laundry - I lost count of how many times I had to refold everything!

Haha! M's current idea of 'helping' me popper in and fold nappies is to un-pop them all again! He's not bad at loading the washing machine though (even if a block or two usually goes in with the laundry).
