We Just Reproduced for the Free Maid Service

Over the weekend we were folding laundry on the sofa while keeping a few items within reach for Fiona to play with. She grabbed one of the washcloths and knelt down and started scouring the floor with it. She then rubbed the sofa in a clear cleaning motion.

I'd like to say that she was imitating behavior that she sees Mommy and Daddy doing all the time at home, but we're more likely to say things like "we really need to clean this weekend for real" than "boy is my elbow sore from all that scouring." So score one for day care; Fiona's imitating the cleaning behavior she sees from the people she sees three days a week. If only it were safe to put a little spic and span on those washcloths and set her loose on the kitchen floor...
