I love to help

I know that my Mommy has a lot to do and sometimes (ok, most of the time) I make her job harder. Well, I am really trying hard to figure out ways to help her out.

One thing I have learned to do is to take my own diaper off. That's right. I can undo the velcro and if I were quick enough, I could even roll off of it. Usually Mommy stops me from rolling. I guess she doesn't want THAT much help.

I also help her out when I am taking a bath. I am really good at looking up when she is washing my neck (she says that it is hard because I have so many chins - not sure what THAT'S supposed to mean, but more is always better, right?) and lifting my head up when she washes and rinses my super soft fine hair. Yes, that's a lot of adjectives for my hair, but it is the truth. Not bragging. I feel it all the time. It is SO soft! It is also nice and short so my fingers don't get all tangled up in it. That happens all the time when I feel on Mommy and Sissy's hair. They squeal out so loud when that happens. It's not my fault that they have that long hair....

I also try to help Mommy when she feeds me. I try to help lean in for the bite from the spoon, but she is always moving around. It never fails...I lean left, she leans right, I move backwards, she moves backward. I move forward and GACK she moves forward at the same time (and I get the spoon jammed into my tonsils).

I'm really good at helping find all of Sissy's toys. Mommy is always telling her to pick them up when I am on the floor rolling around, but it never fails that she misses one or two. I love to find them and then shout out for Mommy (kind of a victory cry). I am pretty sure that if I lick on something it is officially mine, so I also try to hurry up and lick it a couple of times. Sometimes it works and I get to keep the toy. Most of the time, Mommy or Sissy make an icky face and take it away for a bath. Mommy says maybe when I'm three I can have the small toys....I think she lost track of time because I am 7....months that is. :)

The best way I help Mommy out is to love on her at night. I know she is lonely for me and misses me so much, so I holler out so that she knows she can come get me. She usually does, although I think she is hard of hearing because it is taking her longer and longer to come get me (so I have to yell even louder). The other night, I even held her cheek as she drifted off nighty night. The sacrifices I make for my Mommy. I give up my own bed with all my wonderful toys (she doesn't have any toys in her bed - can you imagine?!) just to let her be near me all night long.

I'm such a good helper!

Love to all,
