The Loop

Hailey is so funny sometimes. It's almost as if she gets stuck in some kind of brain loop. She will either say or do the same thing over and over again. Sometimes it requires adding two or three steps into a relatively simple task. For example, putting a pile of clothes in the washing machine (yes, she "helps" with laundry) requires her to open the door to the machine, pick up one item, put it in the machine, clothes the door to the machine, and then repeat. Even if I hand her multiple items, she'll only put one at a time in the machine before closing the door again and repeating the entire exercise.

Here's another example:

Hailey: "Where Daddy go?"
Mommy: "Daddy's at work today"
Hailey: "Where Daddy go?"
Mommy: "Daddy's still at work"
Hailey: "Where Daddy go?"
Mommy: "Still at work, Hailey."
Hailey: "Where Daddy go?"
Mommy: "Look, I see a puppy."

I remember those days! Fun times! Just keep telling yourself: "She's helping with chores." Maybe that will ease the pain when she's a teenager and doesn't want to know anything about a washer!

Just wait for this one: "Why?"..."Why?"..."Why?"..."Why?...
