Mummy's Little Helper.....


Gracie has been doing some classes put on by her favourite kids group The Polkadots (check them out, they are friends of mine, a group of young Mums committed to teaching preschoolers through fun. Gracie is OBSESSED, enough said.) The class is called Body Bop and it teaches her all about exercise, eating healthily, coordination, team work etc and Gracie SUCKS lol (nothing to do with the class mind you, all the other kids are great lol) She spends 90% of the time chasing after balls that the other kids have dropped and making sure it gets back to them, picking up bats to make sure everyone gets to finish their turn and picking up equipment that has fallen over. She will even run over to the other side of the room to put Joshie's blanket back on if it has fallen off. The other 10% of the time she is actually trying, but it drives me nuts. Then I thought about it and I realized she is like this ALL the time. At home, if something spills she says "oh no!" and runs to get the tea towel. If Joshie dribbles or pukes she runs in to get the wipes. She is CONSTANTLY trying to get the broom out and sweep the floor and she blows her nose all the time so that she can go and put the tissues in the bin. On Friday (cleaning day) she makes me give her a sponge and she follows me around the house helping me clean and spraying her Spray'n'Wipe which I refilled with water. If me and Haydn have finished our drinks or cleared our plates she will grab them and RUN to the kitchen to drop them in the sink (one thing we are trying to stop) Then I found her on the couch the other day doing this...........



Mummy: "You ok Gracie?"
Gracie: "Yup, I feed Joshie."
She had her legs crossed and everything lol, she had her top pushed up but pulled down to cover her "Booboos" she even had the phone, cell phone and remote lined up on the armrest (although you can't see it) Just like Mummy does. You should see her trying to fold pillow cases when I do the laundry SO cute. This isn't a bad thing, she will be a great Mummy! (Just maybe not that great at sports)

She may not look like me but personality wise she is DEFINITELY a carbon copy of me!
