Helping

Greetings to all, it's me, Maggie.  I've been showing you mostly my playful, sometimes defiant, but always ready for an adventure side lately, so I thought I'd show you another side of me today.

Here I am, checking on Mom while she downloads photos:

"Hello.  Can I help?"

That's Mom's knee, at right.  I like to be in touch, so to speak.  It's the best way to help.

I'm very good at helping! I especially like to help Mom when she's in the kitchen. Here we are, making lunch:

"Is that a chicken sandwich?"

Here we are, cooking dinner:

"Hi, Mom."

Here we are at the table:

Usually Cammie helps out at the table, too:

And if Mom and I are slicing fruit, Cam helps in the kitchen, too:

"We're making a salad, Cam!"
"Let me know when she gets the apples out."

What about you?  Do you have both an active, adventurous side and a sweet, cuddly, helpful side?

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher

  8. Oh you know I do! I even am very helpful in the mornings when MOM is blow drying her hair. I am right there between her feet incase she needs any help. The bonus of this is when she is done I get a good blow drying too. I love that.

    Me and Nellie like to help as well, especially when daddy is in the kitchen preparing dinner. We like to position ourselves right in the middle of the kitchen floor, between the fridge, sink and oven, so we can see what is happening. However, for some reason daddy does not appreciate our efforts. He says we are "in the way". Whatever that means.

  11. I get migraines a lot, and Shyla likes to snooze with her head over my heart when I'm lying in bed feeling awful. It's the sweetest thing.

    You two, Maggie and Cammie, seem sweet in that very same way!

  12. I'm the same way you are, Maggie! I especially love to lay across mom's feets when it's pizza day. We don't want her to get up and leave without offering me a smidge, do we!

    Love ya lots♥

  13. I am SUPER helpful just like you, Maggie! My biggest chore is helping Momma make the bed. I don't think she could do it without me. Usually Cinderella helps her out at the computer, but I'm always her kitchen helper!
