Our Little Helper

Was it really just a year ago that our little girl was a little baby? It seems these days she is growing up right before our eyes. She loves to be wherever her mommy or daddy are and we are experiencing her wanting to "help." The other day I needed to do something in the kitchen, probably get supper ready, so I set Hannah up at the sink. she picked up a wash cloth and got right to cleaning her tray!!!She has already learned that you are not done washing dishes until the counters are cleaned! Way to go Hannah!
Over the weekend, Daryl started one of the items on my "honey do" list... creating a shelf in the place of the missing drawer in her dresser. Hannah got right in there to help daddy with the "measurements." (She actually repeated this word to Daryl!)
"Daddy, what can I do to help?"
Can you really fall in love with your child more and more each day? Granted, we definitely have our moments of conflict ("Nooooooo, mommy" as she pushes my hand away... drives me crazy!), but I just cannot imagine my world without this miracle of God. To be entrusted with such a precious life... that is truly God's grace in this crazy world!

(Just a post script to the nap strike... SHE NAPPED TODAY! Yippee!! I really needed it as I have been SO TIRED because of my neverending cold/cough. We both got a nap today.)
