This one is just so I can remember this, as part of Hannah/Olivia's baby books. Feel free not to read.
I was on the phone dealing with the health insurance company as they had no documentation of Olivia's existance (we did our part right, they dropped the ball. But they were totally cool and got it resolved). We had a HUGE bill from her EKG, ECHO and chest xray. Anyway, I was letting Hannah run around because I'm past the point of caring what she gets into. Nothing in my house can be ruined, I just do a lot of picking up after her.
I hear some tinkering around, some chatting and then an "uh oh." I wasn't paying much attention and I see Hannah walk around to the towel drawer and pull out all my kitchen towels. So whatever, I'll pick them up later.
About 10 mintues later I walk into our sunroom and see the dog's water dish dumped out. I turn around to get towels to clean it up when I notice Hannah already put towels down. And cleaned up the water.
See? It's totally worth it to let your child dump the water dish a million times and have her watch you clean it up a million times. Eventually she'll figure out to clean it up herself.

hilarious. what a smarty!
teach them young! sounds like she is learning quickly.
Oh man. She needs to come over and teach Calvin that trick. We are lazy and pretty much keep the water bowl on the counter all the time, which is kind of unfortunate for the dog...
