Big Helper

Lizette is such a big helper. She loves to try to help Mommy and Daddy do things around the house. The other day, when I was trying to make dinner she kept on saying, "help, please." So after washing her hands, I got out the stepping stool so she could "help." She thinks she is such a big girl when she helps. We were making homemade pizza. I decided to have her make her own pizza so she could play with it a little more, and she would be the only one eating it. She rolled out her pizza dough all by herself, then she added the sauce and the cheese.




































After we were done she helped me with dishes while the pizza was cooking, she kept saying, "Wash dish, please". I would only let her wash all the plastic dishes. She mostly likes playing with the water and the sponge.













Lizette also loves to help me do laundry (putting clothes into the washing machine, and moving the clothes from the washer to the dryer) Once she hears the water she is right there saying, "HELP" and trying to climb up the washing machine. And if she hears me open the dryer she starts putting clothes in, even if they are from the hamper.


This past week, Tyler and I (mostly Tyler) took a job painting my Aunt's house before she moves in. I took Lizette with me to help for a half an hour. She wanted to help Daddy paint. We gave a cup and a paint brush - don't worry the cup didn't have anything in it. I also put her in an extra shirt that I had just in case she wanted to paint. She had to go where ever Daddy was. Tyler had to stand on a bucket so he could get the ceiling, Lizette saw him and immediately wanted a bucket of her own.






















Sometimes it is hard to let her help us because it ends up taking twice as long, but we hope it will pay off in a couple of years.
