Baby Girl

My Baby Girl is getting big...and troublesome...and cute. 

I try to be stealthy when I do the dishes.  I wait until she is busy playing in another room before I quietly open the dishwasher.

But she has ears to hear the click.  She has five million hands to grab at five million knives and forks - never the spoons.  She has eyes to tell her what is glass and fun, or plastic and boring.  She has strong arms to pull on the bottom basket.  So strong that she will accidentally fling the whole thing out of the dishwasher, sending her little body floorward and her big eyes looking ceilingward with a basket-on-linoleum crash.  She has good knees to crawl on and steady legs to pull herself up onto the lowered door so she can peak into the upper basket where more glass can be touched and hopefully held.

She is my busy gal..my getting big gal...so troublesome...so darned cute.

You cute baby girl. Soon I will need to use stealth to empty the dishwasher--can't wait to see you.

I was thinking about the things I would need to instruct you to be stealthy on. I'll cross "emptying the dishwasher" off my list.

Baby Girl will have fun reading this about herself some day. What a cutie she is!
