Sahii Spot: "I HELP!"

Yes, Sara likes to help... yesterday we picked up a rake for her so that she could starting "helping" with chores around the yard. In the picture below, she is emphatically stating "I help!" with regard to raking some errant leaves in the backyard yesterday. She also helped us pick up a bunch of twigs and sticks around the backyard that had fallen with all the windstorms (and squirrel nesting) going on this past winter. Sara had a pretty good week, especially as she is getting to spend more time outside at school... she is also coming home dirtier and more tired, all of which is pretty good - fresh air and exercise. She also amazed her father by spontaneously walking up the stairs backwards. We've also moved from amazing her parents with how fast she learns words, to just using words and sentences on her own, not parroting them all. And last night she decided to start detailing to her father a story of everything she did the last time she had a babysitter here... which was in January. Kids are sponges indeed.
