Lately Kiera has been obsessed with the house being picked up before she goes to bed. I think part of it is her ploy to stay up a little longer. But part of it scares me to death because I have already passed on my OCD cleanliness to my four year old daughter. Last night after soccer we got Ellie to bed and then Kiera helped me pick up the house. She asked if she could help change the laundry over and I said sure. So I went around the house to put together another load and came back to her getting the wet clothes out of the washer and putting them into the dryer. I took about four shots before she even realized I was there. I was laughing because all you could see was her legs sticking out of the washer. We had a little talk about the dangers of changing the laundry on her own and she promised that she would make sure that I was always close by just in case she fell in!

How do I get ME one of those???? What a helper!
That is hilarious! I love the legs sticking out. And yes, I'm sure it's a ploy to stay up, but hey, I'd take the help! And it's not a bad thing to have a clean child/helper!
Right now you might think its OCD, but later (next year....) as Kiera is taking over the laundry duties, you will be so thankful for her perceptive need to keep things clean!!!:-}
Ha ha what a funny little girl. Everytime I see your little girls I CAN NOT get over how pretty they are. They look like dolls.
Will you come train my girls??
Does she do bathrooms? I used to be OCD but just can not keep up anymore....I could use a Kiera around here!!
Can she come teach Carter? Where have you been on Wed. nights?
