Have you ever heard of that book, "If you give a mouse a cookie..."? It goes something like this: "if you give a mouse a cookie, then he will want a glass of milk to go with it," The story continues on with the mouse wanting just one more thing...and one more thing...and one more thing. Taylie reminds me alot of this book!! It is always just one more.
On this particular day, I was feeling in a rather pleasant mood, which has been few and far between these days with a newborn, a full school load and a husband who consistantly works weekends. I asked Taylie if she wanted to help me with some cleaning and re-arranging. We began by cleaning out the first mess that she had left in my curio cabinet and cleaned off all of the finger prints and dusted all of my little objects. I told her that we were done and I moved onto somthing else just assuming that she would follow behind me. I realized that I was being far to productive and that Taylie was M.I.A. I went looking for her and found this:

She wanted to do "one more" (as she calls it) and help re-decorate my curio with her little barn and zoo animals. This picture doesn't fully do it justice. The onsomble is complete with rubber duckie, a farmer, Noah from the ark and I think she sqeezed an Elmo in there somewhere. To top it off, she replaced the fignerprints that I had cleaned off not quite 15 min before. She just wanted to put in "one more"....
On the same day, I let her help me cook some food. We got a new toaster oven and she has been watching ever-so-carefully to try and figure out how to use it. When the house gets a little too quiet, I go looking and usually run across something like this:
I walked in and asked her "what do you think you are doing missy moo?" she looked at me with the biggest smile and said: "Taylie cook!" She had taken my butter and put it in the toaster oven. When it started falling through the rack, she placed it back in the butter dish. In this process, she got butter everywhere!! Her hands, the counter, and all over my new toaster inside and out. She just wanted to cook "one more".
