Sometines being helpful just isn't

Isn't is funny. From day one we strive to encourage children to become independent then, as soon as they are, we wish they weren't. Today Sujin learnt all about helping granddad. First she learned to help granddad put the spoon in her mouth - along with her hand and very often, her bib as well. Not helpful. With this new epiphany about the use and purpose of hands she also learned how to help by smearing rusk all over her face and by spilling Tommee Tippee (the water cup) all over her front. I can't wait till she learns how to wipe her face & hands, clean up the floor and wash her own sweater.

Now that would be helpful!

PS - at 14:48 NZ standard time Sujin also learnt how to roll over. From her front onto her back. Well done Sujin, a milestone day in so many ways!
