In anticipation of Grandpa Waechter's visit this morning, we had a lot of cleaning up to do to make the house presentable. We began by mopping the kitchen floor. When you heard the mop spray the floor you came running over to inspect. I could tell it wasn't your favorite, but you were intrigued.
You and mom then moved on to the basement to wash your mountain of laundry. You seemed to really enjoy this. Mom had you stand on a step stool and pull the laundry out of your hamper.
We soon moved on back upstairs where once we had all of your toys neatly organized we vacuumed the floor. "Sweep, sweep" we heard over and over. I think the vacuum is your favorite tool of the trade.
Soon, Grandpa Waechter was at the house for you to open your Christmas presents from him. When asked "Ava who is this?" You responded "ampa" which is Gravy-speak for Grandpa. I can't speak for him, but I think it made him prideful.
Regretfully, I didn't get any pics of you and Grandpa this afternoon, but you really enjoyed your new Minnie Mouse collectible figurine and the Carhart overall set he picked out for you.
You entertained him for a little while before he had to go home and pack for his trip to North Dakota. Tomorrow he leaves to see your cousin Addy for the first time.
Not long after giving Grandpa a squeeze and a kiss it was back to work.
I think mom would beg to differ that I call it work, she's really been wanting to make Christmas cookies with you this year. Making the dough wasn't really within your abilities so I held you up to inspect her work.
We must have worn you out because during the baking process you decided it was nap time.
You woke up just in time for the best part ... FROSTING! Following a few spoonfuls of the sugary goodness you settled in to your mom's lap and helped finish the work.
So detail oriented.
