Make me a sammich!
She is reaching the age where she can do simple tasks or errands for us if we ask. For instance, one day I was in the bathroom, and had forgotten to check the toilet paper stash before going about my business. There was none left, so I asked her to go get me some more. It took her a few minutes, but she found where the toilet paper was kept, and brought two rolls of it to me.
Also, she is able to open the refrigerator. So we can ask her something simple like, “Get mommy/daddy a soda, please!”, and she will. Basically, as long as she knows where something is, and is in the mood to be helpful, and it isn’t dangerous, she is happy to help.
I know I should enjoy this as long as it lasts, especially when she is old enough to want to help out with bigger chores like cleaning the dishes and such… Because I know one day it is going to be a fight to get her to do anything chore related. At least not without a lot of grumbling and groaning and mumbling under her breath.
