Quick Study

I love getting surprised by my daughter. Last time I did the laundry I got her to help place the clean mat back on the toilet floor. This afternoon, after another clean load was piled up in the basket, she went and took the mat and put it back in its place, unbeknownst to me. What a lovely surprise to see that I've got such a willing house helper! Also today she started putting her hand over her mouth when she coughs. I've only once explained how we do this, to be polite. I think some of the kudos has to go to a new book called "How do Dinosaurs Eat their Food?" The pictures of the dinosaurs doing all the things we shouldn't do at the dinner table are fantastic, and Raina just loves it. We had to read it 3 times today!
