Last week, on a night when Mark was out of town, I had a friend coming for dinner. She was minutes from arriving and the one thing that I really wanted to get done before she came was vacuuming the basement.That morning Austin had been snacking on fruity cheerios while I was doing other housework and he had not only spilled some, but also stepped on them. There were little crumbs everywhere!
I was feeding Mia dinner and Austin came over and started playing with her and her highchair toy. I decided that since she was distracted I could run downstairs and quickly get the vacuuming done. I put her bowl of cereal on the table, away from her highchair, and retreated downstairs.
I was down there about 4 minutes. When I turned off the vacuum and headed upstairs, Austin was on his way down. He looked at me and said, "I help Mia eat cereal!" He showed me that he had some on his finger that he wanted wiped off.
I came upstairs to find Mia in the above state. She gave me a "Is this what you intended?" look.
Thankfully she was probably so stunned at his attempts to feed her that she did not make a mess of the bowl that he left on her tray. I couldn't help but laugh as I grabbed the camera.
He certainly is my little helper!

Another moment saved because of blogging!!! I love the way so many of us grab the camera and think of how to blog something that before might have caused major irritation. Such a cool byproduct of the blog, don't you think? For me at least, it seems to keep me in check and I remember that things really aren't that big of a deal. Well, most of the time. :)
LOVE the shot. She does have a "What the heck?" look on her face...so adorable!
I think I must be more tired than I thought. My comment is totally scattered. Sorry. Did you get what I meant though? Do you just think I am totally loo loo?
That photo is so cute and your little helper really did try.
You have a great little helper. Glad to hear it didn't result in a big mess right before your visit.

Isn't it amazing how no matter how much we have to clean up, these moments are soooo cute on camera?

Those little helpers have to start sometime and just look at the years of helping he will be involved in! She looks no worse for the wear! I bet she enjoyed the help!
