I don't know where she gets it

One of Julia's favorite jobs is to help put away the dishes from the dishwasher. After we empty the bottom rack I throw all her cups and bowls from the top rack down so she can hand them to me while I put the glass things away. I was quite surprised when she gave the dishes to me in matching color pairs! She's been doing this for months. Also, during bathtime a few days ago, Jonny noticed she had carefully organized the colored foam numbers on the side of the tub. Not only were they sorted according to color, but also by number (or shape, to her) within each color group. We are quite impressed with Julia's organizational tendencies and at a loss as to where they came from...

Okay, sarcasm aside, those who know me well can see clearly why Julia may like things a certain way. But no, I am not obsessive about it. My closet isn't even color-coordinated. And when I put away the plastic dishes, they are stacked as they are grabbed. Julia would be appalled!

Does this mean she is left-brained?

Ok, so sometimes I put the cups in color order . . . I see nothing wrong with that.

What a funny Juju!

Wow, that's impressive! Alena's tendencies are more towards cleaning the bathtub and the faucets with her washcloths...

What a good little helper! You take such darling pictures! I can't decide who she looks more like, a great combination of both I guess!

ha, I love that clever little stinker! Jack has been doing that too, I have been finding lines of cars, stuffed animals, or whatever always meticulously arranged.

funny kiddos!
