Daddy's Little "Helper"

Today Emilee was helping Daddy put together yet another office chair. (Some of you may know that my husband is addicted to chairs. They are like stray cats to him. He just brings them in when they don't have a home.) She wanted to push the button and lift the drill and do it all. Her new phrase to say is "I do it myself." And that is just what she wanted to do...put the chair together herself.

Aaron was so good and patient with her and helped her put the chair together.

Daddy now has a new partner in his office. Emilee sits on the chair that she built and plays games on one of the many computers in that office!

Emilee is so cute! In a way it's kind of nice that they want to do things on their own... but mostly it just takes longer and makes a bigger mess :) Kids... You gotta love 'em

I think Emilee is the cutest girl even with all your stories about her! You guys are such awesome parents. Thanks for getting me social. You're the best! Didn't know Aaron had the obsession with chairs. Good times. You're amazing. How did you get that cool blog update thing on your side bar to see when everyone updates? It's cool. Anyway, you're the greatest, did I say that yet? Well you are!

Emilee...gotta love that adorable (not "Dora") little girl. Did this project take Aaron twice as long to finish! LOVE UM!

So funny. When we were at playgroup, I heard her in distress and went to investigate--to find that she had got her leg caught in the mousecord as she was sitting in her grownup chair by her grownup computer--it caught me off guard! But now that I know it's her chair afterall, well, it makes sense that she looked so natural in it. :)

Aaron bought a new chair? So he has 37 now. You better not ask me to carry them out of there if you move.

What a good little helper she is! she is hired! Brigham always hates assembling all of our ready to assemble furniture that Brigham deems our "Walmart" furniture. Tell her to come over anytime I am sure we'll have somethin for her to put together :O)
