I learnt from my no.1 just how fast babies grow up. I still miss the times I had just with him before no.2 came. After Little Missy came I was so exhausted the first year that I missed out so much of his growing up then. So yes, with Little Missy, I'm making the most of every moment I have left before she enters the "education" system. Yes, you hit the nail on the head.

Its a bittersweet truth that after you see how fast the first baby grows up, you tend to try to make the most of the moments you have with the remaining kids (cause you've just learned how quickly it does fly by)! I look back now and wish I had taken more time and not been so rushed with our twins when they were smaller... hindsight is always 20/20. Great idea though with the washing of the dishes! Kids love feeling like they are "helping" and you're right, maybe this will make her truly want to help as she continues to get older! I will have to try it! :):) Genius! and oh, how precious she is!
