Clean freak baby




Lily is a clean freak already. From getting her hands in the dirt to getting messy when she eats. She's so clean. When she does get dirty she looks at me and acts like she's about to cry. One day she was playing in the park and she was just learning how to walk outside and she would fall so many times. She would get sand stuck to her hands and hold them out like there was something wrong with them. I brushed them off and she was okay.
Another clean freak moment was on her 1st birthday. She had chocolate cupcakes. We put the cupcake on her tray and she tried to eat it, but the fact that the icing was sticking her her hands was very distracting when it came to eating it. She would try to shake off the icing and the cake flew all over the kitchen. She was more worried about the icing stuck to her than the yummy first take of chocolate.
Another instance was when I was getting her ready for her bath. She was completely nude and I let her run to the bath tub, when she had a little accident on the bathroom rug. She looks at what she's done and almost starts bawling. I just say to protect her sensitive spirit, "It's okay Lily go to the bath." And she gets into the bath and she was fine.
The best thing of all is that she will also imitate me cleaning. While I do the dishes or even dust the room, she will grab a washcloth and start wiping the floor or the coffee table. It is the most adorable thing ever.
Hey, maybe it'll last and I'll get some help with these dishes. She's probably thinking, "Mom, don't count on it."
