Mummy's little helpers


Annie and Lucy have taken it upon themselves to help Mummy empty the dishwasher. Their favourite things to empty are the cutlery and the cups and plates (plastic ones!). As soon as they hear either Daddy or Mummy emptying the dishwasher they both come running. They get the step so the cutlery basket can rest on that so Lucy can take them out and hand them to Annie who then puts them in the draw. Annie and Lucy have worked out there own little system and it works great. There is though one problem with this wonderful gesture of help, Lucy doesn't realize that you need to fill the dishwasher to be able to get clean ones out. Everytime she sees the dishwasher opens she automatically thinks you want to empty it!! I have now had to resort to filling the dishwasher when she is in bed. Annie has also started helping me with the washing. She has her own washing basket and trolley and stands beside me and takes all the undies and socks out of my basket and puts them in hers so we can hang them out together very last.
