tasmanian devil

Adalynn loves playing with her toys. She's pretty good about entertaining herself for a short period of time while I'm doing chores. Luckily, our house is now pretty baby proof. She spends most of her time in our living room, but plays in her bedroom too while we are upstairs. Let me tell you, the girl can mess up a room in no time flat. We call her our little tasmanian devil.

I probably pick up the living room (where most of her toys are) 3 times a day. I often wonder what is the point though because toys are everywhere again in about 5 minutes.

This evening, after Nick got off work, his mom came over to spend some time with Addy. So, the three of them hung out downstairs while I had the opportunity to get some much needed things done upstairs. Adalynn's room has all kinds of fun things that she loves to play with. Her favorite is her kitchen that was handed down from Callie (my mom's friend's daughter). Addy loves getting her spoons, pots and pans, whisks, and fake food spread around her room.

So, my chore for the evening was to tackle her room. Besides just putting away toys, I had to clean out and organize her closet and drawers. We had quite a few outgrown things that were needing to be packed away.

When Addy and I went up there tonight to get her jammies before her bath, it was the first time she'd seen her room since I'd cleaned it. It was hilarious. Her eyes got huge and she started babbling. I know she was thinking, "Thank you mommy! Now I get to mess it all up again, and that's my favorite thing to do!" :)
