Collective thoughts from Kayla

Poor Grammy! Funny how the older a person gets the more they seem to slow down. Don't tell Grammy, but I have noticed that in her the last couple of days. She has lots of energy in the morning but by supper time, her batteries seem to be running low. Since I am two and have lots of energy, I thought it would be a good idea to help her out around the house today. I thought I was being helpful and unloaded the dishes from the dishwasher for her. Now, how was I supposed to know that they were still dirty? I also have watched her vacuum the crumbs from off the floor almost every day. That seems senseless to me. If she didn't make me pick up my toys, then she wouldn't even notice the crumbs. Personally, I think she generates more work for herself than necessary.

Today Grammy thought it would be fun to make cookies. Right, I've heard that one before! "Let's make cookies" really means "watch me make cookies and you can help a little." I decided to humor her so I watched her for awhile and then when she turned her back to get the cookie sheets, I made my move. Before she even had a chance to turn around, I grabbed the rolling pin and proceeded to show her that I am two and am able to handle cookie baking myself! It took a bit of persuading, but she finally gave in. Of course, she couldn't believe that I was able to do the whole process myself. She even grabbed the video camera for proof. I did get some flour on the floor but I knew that Grammy would haul out that vacuum again, so what did it matter?

Well, Grammy says it's time for my nap. Whatever--I bet Grammy is the one who really wants the rest. Hmm, personally, I think every Grammy needs to have a two year old around more often. If nothing else, I know she certainly is getting lots of exercise and that should definitely help her to stay young and fit!

Bye for now,
Kayla
