RUN

I think it is so funny that when you tell a baby to come they run into a corner thinking that hopefully you won't be able to get them there. I just asked my niece for the brush and because she undoubtedly she did not want to give it to me she took off running and stopped in the corner of the kitchen. Good thinking, there is no way I'll find you there.

Baby Time

Yesterday while I was cleaning my bathrooms I realized how much more time it takes to clean anything in our apartment. I thought about it and wrote down a list of chores and how long it used to take me to finish them.
vacuum: before-5 min. now-10 min
sweep floor: before 2 min now-5 min
clean bathroom: before 20 min now-40 min
picking up anything off the floor: before-5 seconds now-30 min
Luckily I have discovered that if I pretend to let them help me they get distracted and I can carry on much faster. Its amazing what a paper towel can do to save me some time. On the downside I do have to worry about my daughter throwing it in the toilet or anything else for that matter. Despite how long it now takes now I never knew how funny it could be to clean a bathroom whether it is seeing a baby press their face against the shower door or seeing what kind of cleaning product she now thinks might taste good without mom knowing. One thing is for sure there is never a dull moment. If there is that's when you need to worry.

just the beginning

turn it up. you won't be sorry.
