Mommy's Little Helper

I'm not sure when Lizzy all of a sudden grew up, but all of a sudden she is just blossoming!  She just turned 18 months yesterday, and I can now see why 18 months is significant in terms of development.  She's talking way more, and sings constantly, she even knows her ABC's.

Lately, when I take a shower, she likes to just stand there and wait (weird, I know...I'll have to put an end to that soon).  Anyway, she stands there until the water goes off and says "all done".  Then, she helps open the door and gives me my towel which I always have hanging near the shower.  I usually like to stand in the shower for a minute while I dry off so I don't get the floor all wet, but Lizzy yells at me the entire time, "come on, come on, come on" and she holds her hand out.  So, I get out and she gets my deoderant out of the drawer for me.   Then, while I finish getting ready, she likes to watch tv, so she goes and gets the remote and says, "come on, Yo Backgards."(that's what she calls The Backyardigans).  She has this thing where she always stands right up against the tv and I always tell her she's too close, and every time she says, "oh", and then backs up and sits near my bed.  It's all rather cute.  It's like I have a personal assistant for each move I make. 

I'm sure this whole "come on" thing will get old pretty quickly as she bosses us all around.  She is starting to tell Sydney and the other kids at daycare what to do.  But for now, due to her cuteness, we will let it slide...but only for a while...her bossy and stubborn personality is starting to really shine through as she chucks things she doesn't want across the room or throws herself down to the floor in a fit of rage.  But we'll save that for another story another day!
