Earning Her Keep

Disclaimer: the entry you are about to read is not from Pigbear's Mommy.

The last time I was allowed near the keyboard I blogged about what a great little helper girl I have in Sarah. This past weekend confirmed her status. In honor of Labor Day, I guess she wanted to, well, labor. So we did. After a few near-death experiences with the stairs, we broke down and bought a couple of baby gates. Poor little Pigbear didn't know that she was jumping at the chance to help install the bars to her own jail. Just look at her with that screwdriver.








What these pictures don't show is Sarah crawling at light speed into her Mommy's lap when I used the drill. Yellow screwdriver good. Cordless drill very bad.

But even the drill didn't diminish her desire to help. I had a little landscaping work to do, and Pigbear thought I needed a supervisor. Did I do a good job? Don't take it from me...

She's more of a toddler than a baby now! I'm jealous of the shorts being worn - we should get some decent weather here tomorrow. Glad to see all is well with you guys.

Nice work on the blog, big guy! You've struck yet another blow against the tyranny of women hoggin' the bloggin'! He builds babygates, he toils in the backyard, AND, God love him, HE BLOGS!! You go, girl!! (Oops, sorry , Brent, I was channeling Oprah there for a sec...) ;)

Brent, I enjoyed the blog.

Send Sarah to help her Nana ANY TIME! I always have a project going and most often need an extra hand.

Love to the Cobbs ><
