Helper Monkey

Madi has become quite the "helper" lately.  She loves to sing, "Clean, up.  Clean Up.  Everybody, everywhere.  CLEAN UP!  CLEAN UP! Everybody do your share!" at the top of her lungs as she picks up toys.  When she isn't busy making horrific messes, she is often sweeping, doing dishes, wiping spills, scrubbing floors, bathing her babies, cleaning and primping Hannah, etc, etc, etc.  She is a hoot!  Such a very big, busybody in a tiny, terrific package.  We love our witto "Helper Monkey!"

TA-DA!  Check out this disinfecting, dancing diva!

"When we're helping, we're happy, and we sing as we go!"
"Helping" Daddy paint the cribby.


Such concentration...CUTE!

Rub-a-dub-dub.  Scrubbing and washing.  Madi usually soaks the floor, herself and then eventually just climbs in the sink with the dirty dishes.  What would I ever do without her? :)

One should always wear one's wife-beater when cleaning around the house.
                                   
LOVE this picture.  Madi is using an old toothbrush to scrub the floor.  She worked for hours by my side, then carefully scrubbed all the chairs.  Oh...and then used the filthy toothbrush to comb Hannah's sprigs of hair.  

I often sing this as my pretty princess cleans away:
"Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it's Cinderelly
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Wash the dishes, do the mopping..."
