Mommy in Training

Hannah's been my shadow this week. :o) Often she's busy playing or whatever while I'm fixing dinner and such, but this week she was at the counter for nearly every meal. It's been fun! :o) The company is enjoyable, and she's actually becoming a real help. :o) (Mommies and Grandmas should understand what I mean by that.) :o) It's especially nice to have help with "lunch train!" It really does go faster when there's a second set of hands to fill the bags!


She's also learning to make her "lists." We never go shopping without a list! (That's actually a very handy reminder when we're at the grocery store and she sees something attractive. My simple response is that it's "not on the list." She doesn't question it because she knows full well that I only buy what's on my list. So the second question becomes, "Can we consider putting it on the list for next week?" I'm always glad to consider that--but Mommy's secret is that Hannah rarely (maybe only once?) remembers it long enough to ask for it to be on the list next week!)

And here's our princess. :o)

I love having a four-year-old!
