It's a Cinderella Story ;)

This pictures takes me back to a child hood memory of mine when I heard my little sister Ashley tell my mom, "You only had me so I could be your slave!" (Referring to the chores we were expected to get done daily). I have two sisters and my mom being a single mother pretty much our whole lives, she expected us to help her out around the house. That makes sense, so I thought I would pass on the values that my mother taught me to Presley. Who says you can't teach 2 year old chores? Just a little dirt on the hands and face and some raggedy looking hair, she fits the part just right!

hahaha okay seriously what kind of mother do you take me for? Do you think I would actually make my 2 year old mop and sweep the floors? That may be a little young; I mean obviously 3 is such a better age for this type of discipline haha.

Okay so real story..Wade and Presley had just gotten back from the farmers market. While they were out Wade let her have a fruit Popsicle (which is a very messy treat for any 2 year old, but hey that was all dad.) When they got home she was a big sticky mess so what does dad do right when they walk in? He takes her to the backyard to play in the dirt (true story). Once they finished rolling around in the dirt (literally) they walked in, and my kid looked like a big mess. She went into the kitchen and for some reason has this fascination with the swiffer mop. She loves to play with it. As I was sitting (on bed rest not because I'm a couch potato) I just laughed because she looked like a smaller version of Cinderella (minus the darker hair and the fact she's 2 years old). If someone from social services just happen to knock on my door and had seen this, it would have looked very suspicious.

She is a cute little mess though :)
