helping with the laundry

Lydia is my "folding clothes buddy". She's an expert at taking all the clean clothes out of the basket and spreading them around the room. And she loves to play with the socks.

For the past few weeks she's been trying to get one of those pesky little socks on her foot, but she just can't make it work. It's pretty cute though... she stretches her leg straight out in front of her, grabs the sock in both hands, and tries with all her might to get the sock opening over her big toe.

Well, today, she passed over the socks and went straight for Julianna's little underwear. She's in the bedroom every morning when Julianna gets dressed, so she knows the drill, and she thinks she knows what to do with a pair of little panties. As soon as I realized what she was doing, I jumped up and ran for the camera.

Despite the fact that she was already full dressed, she attacked the challenge with gusto.



And she did manage to get one foot through the proper leg opening!

Adorable! You can see how younger children learn faster with an older sibling as a model! I remember how Julianna used to play that game with the laundry - don't they grow up fast! Love you all!

Lydia has gotten so big! And I do have to say she is starting to look like you, Laura! Matt shouldn't be allowed to take all the credit(visual) for you adorable girls!
Love,
Susan
