Laundry Day

Tildy and I have a Sunday ritual of doing laundry.  We've been doing it for the last year and she is such a great helper.  She stands at the colors basket and puts the clothes in that I hand to her.  Then she helps me load the clothes in the washer, pushes the buttons turns of the light when we're done.

One day she wandered off while I was loading up the laundry.  I got sidetracked for a minute, and when I came back, this is what I found.  She had been increasingly dissatisfied by me holding her while she pushed the buttons, so she cam up with her own solution.  Yes, she's fiercely independent, when she wants to be. :)

**Note the shoes.  She doesn't walk past a pair of shoes too often without putting them on.
