Child Labor Violation?

This morning, I walked into the girl's room and found this. . .

Then I found Ashland with my camera and saw this. . .

So, here's the story. Ashie is an incredibly observant 18 month old. She mimics everything. . . (especially if it was just done by her older sister - which can be cute and terrifying all at the same time.) Well, it didn't take long for her to learn that if something spills, you go to the drawer, get out a rag and clean it up. Seems simple enough.

She must have spilled her cereal (yeah, it looks like rabbit food. . . Fiber One is one of her favorites!) She then went to the drawer where the rags are and grabbed a hot pad - which are right next to the rags - in order to clean up her mess. We teach them young here. I just had to capture the moment. I think it's so precious how little minds work. It's adorable really.

I had her show me what had happened and then she found a "real" rag. The picture in the middle cracks me up. This is how daddy cleans up a spill on carpet. Step one, throw rag on floor. Step two, stand on it. . . Priceless.
