Toddler Fashion Tip

Our Little Helper

Dear Future Estelle,

You are 3 months away from turning 3, and you love to help around the house. Making beds, doing dishes, baking, folding clothes, you name it, you want to do it. By the time you are old enough to navigate the internet AND read this post, you probably won’t be nearly as enthusiastic about chores, but you will have the arm strength to scrub pots and push the vacuum! On that note, please get off the computer and load the dishwasher…that is assuming we have a dishwasher by the time you read this. Fingers crossed.

Much love,

Mom
