My Little Helpers

Like most toddlers, when Seara eats her lunch, the floor around her chair ends up covered in crumbs. Recently, however, I have noticed that if I don't get around to sweeping those crumbs by dinner, they are gone! They magically diappear! "Heavens," I thought to myself, my floor must be cleaning itself! Who knew!? If I weren't so over-zealous about my sweeping, I wouldn't have to be doing it all!" Obviously, there must be a culprit, so I started some detective work, and here is what I discovered ...






So I must admit. I've left them now for about four days since I discovered them. I can't quite bear to kill them yet. After all, they honestly do a great job at cleaning up her messes. And they are fast! There are never more that eight or so out at a time, either, so its not like they are taking over or anything. I guess I ought to get to them soon, though, because if I don't Elijah will. Yes, that's right, HE IS CRAWLING!! He's not too quick yet, but I'm sure that will come in a week or so. And he absolutely love his new found independence. Honestly, his crying has been cut in half since he became mobile. Hallelujah. Samuel suggested that we just skip straight to nine months with our next baby. Ah, if only it were that easy!

Whatever Janae, if you ever are a multi-millionaire you'll go on tons of missions and change the world.

Super cool little helpers Janae! I can't say I necessarily want the same kind of helpers in my house, but hey, if they do thier job- I guess you can keep them. I especially loved the pictures who got of them! I'm sure you'll need all the extra help you can get now, since you mentioned your little boy is beginning to crawl- you'll be busy chasing him around I'm sure.

And loved reading the "tag" (although I can't stand to fill them out myself!)
