Accalia has been in helper mode lately. With almost every move I make, it's "Let me help you, Mommy!" Right now she's upstairs with Cory helping him install a new toilet paper holder in the bathroom. Her tools for the mission: a bendy straw and a piece of paper.

Earlier tonight she was helping me sort laundry to wash. I told her we were doing a load of darks. Our conversation went something like this:

Accalia: Is this dark, Mommy?

Me: No, that's light.

Accalia: Is this dark, Mommy?

Me: No, that's light.

Accalia: Is this dark, Mommy?

Me: Yes, that is, sweetie.

It's great having a three year old around to help out with things. It makes the mundane so much more enjoyable even though it takes twice as long for everything. It's helps me look at household chores in a different way because Accalia has so much fun doing it all.

Of course she's not always so helpful. Tonight I noticed some greenish bits on the back of our bedroom door. I asked her what it was. Why, boogers, of course! When I asked her why she put them there, she said, "They're so beautiful!"
