Laundry Helper

Ava's new thing lately is "helping" me around the house. Here's a few shots of her helping me with laundry. I try to find the balance of having her following along side of me "helping" and trying to get our chores done timely. So even though helping might mean longer tasks and more messes, I love her helping spirit and that natural part of her at this age to want to be like us and do what we do, even the most seemingly mundane parts of what we do that give her such a sense of joy and pride. and how I love to see her filled up with both of those.  Yet another lesson she's teaching, joy and pride can be found throughout our day in even the most unlikely of places...
