I’ve been getting frustrated with Abby (my 3 1/2 year old) keeping her room clean. So I made pictures to put on each of her toy drawers. This makes it so that she knows where everything goes. Then when she is done playing she cleans her toys up. It has been two weeks sense I did this and it is working. She loves to know where to put things and how to keep her room clean.
Helpful tip on how to organize little kids toys.
Well here goes another post that will be a loner for another two months.
What a cutie. I can’t believe that she is 20 months old. What happened? She is growing up too fast.
Megan is such a funny kid and not very many people get to see that in her. She is very shy just like Abby. My Mom and Dad where visiting last night and Megan ran around being her cute little self and they were surprised. They didn’t know she had such a cute personality.
We made a tent. Well kind of a tent. I was trying to get some stuff done upstairs so I tried to distract the girls with something fun. It lasted about 20 minutes then they were done. But hey, in 20 minutes I got a lot done.
Oh and yes Megan is not wearing pants. After I changed her diaper she refused to put her pants back on. Not worth fighting with her sense we weren’t going anywhere and bath time was in about 1 hour. So, no pants.
That reminds me. The other day Abby decided that she wanted to help Megan learn how to use the potty. So, she pulled out the potty training potty. Showed her how to pull her pants down and take her diaper off. Then helped her sit on the potty. She then continued to instruct her on how you sit and go potty. She actually did go. It was the most exciting day for everyone .
Abby was so excited that she helped Megan and Megan just kept saying “I did it” over and over again. It was so cute.
Than a few days later. Abby leaned on the bench by our front door next to Megan and talked to her more about how you go in the potty. She acted like a little Mommy it was so cute. I wished my video camera was on hand I would have recorded the whole thing.
Just too tired to wait for dinner.
I was making dinner one Sunday. After it was ready I went to get everyone and Megan and Abby was asleep. Just too tired to wait for dinner I guess.
Abby making Jell-O all by herself. She came and told me that she wanted to make this, and she pointed to a box of Jell-O. I was in the middle of something and asked if it could wait just a minute. So Abby went and did it herself. She got out a bowl and opened the box and dumped the contents of the package into the bowl. Luckily I made it into the kitchen at this point, so I could help her finish. She is my little chef. She loves to cook. I can put her at the stove and tell her to stir something and she will do a great job at it. She knows safety around hot stuff and sharp objects, DO NOT TOUCH! Problem is that Megan wants to do everything that Abby is doing so Megan has to be watched at all times. Makes cooking a little more tough.
We have a lot of fun at our house.
