what a chore

guess who does do windows?

I remember reading that around 12 months babies start mimicking our behaviors. They try to do things like getting dressed, brushing their hair, yelling at the cat, and cleaning. It's important to encourage good behaviors, so I started walking around with a paper towel, dusting and wiping, putting her toys back in their basket, and so on. It wasn't long before Lil picked up a boogie wipe and started cleaning off the coffee table! Right on, Lil! It's so much fun, isn't it!? I'm sure you can just hear me encouraging away.

working on a wax-on-wax-off technique

All that frantic cleaning can definitely tire a little one out, so it's the perfect pre-nap activity.

 She must be a fast learner, because she started doing the windows all on her own...

too bad she can't reach the top pane

When is she old enough to introduce Windex? I couldn't find that in the baby development book.

she even cleans her own fingerprints.

Maybe she does need one of these fancy toy Dyson vacuums for her birthday (Only if Mama gets the real deal for her's).
