Frances, The Helper

One of Frances's newest skills is emptying the dishwasher with me almost every morning. She's trying to master removing plates and pots, but she really excels at removing silverware. Frances used to remove a piece of silverware and then drop it on the floor - not terribly helpful - but now she hands the forks and spoons to me, one at a time. We don't win any awards for speed, but we get the job done.


Next skill to conquer: differentiating between dirty and clean silverware. It would be so cool if the dirty stuff stayed in the dishwasher.

  1. James is helpful in that way too! He loves the dishwasher. It and everything in it are his friends. He has gotten to the point where he can lift out plates and even tries putting them away in our lower cabinets, some of which contain the kids' plastic dishes. It's very cute. He unfortunately thinks knives are the bees' knees, so we have to be a little careful with that.

  2. There's going to be a mad rush on the dishwasher at Camp MimiandSir. Brace yourselves.
