Dishwashers

With toddlers there is a never ending supply of 'pretend play.' And as much as the girls LOVE their play kitchen, and enjoy serving tea to everyone, human or animal alike... or making fruit salad with all their fake food, who would have thought that they'd find washing dishes even more their style? Now they've always enjoyed helping load dishes to the dishwasher or unloading when its done... so one day - when it was cold and snowy and I didn't feel like being bundled up in the snow - I set up the girls with their own dishwashing station. A bowl of soapy water, a bowl of clean water, some towels under the mess and some to dry the dishes... don't forget the sponges! And try to ignore the fact that they are still in PJ's.. it was still morning, technically. ;)
