Ear Fun

Myra found her ears the other day. She was trying with all her might to pull one of them off, I'm assuming so she could chew on it. I pointed this out to Bruce and Alice because it looked so funny. I then asked Alice if she could pull one of her ears off, thinking she would know I was joking. But no, she immediately started pulling on her ear, and after a few seconds got frustrated and said, "It hard do!" Usually, when she says that I tell her that she can do hard things, but even though it would have been very entertaining to see her try harder to pull her ear off, I decided not to:)

Alice has been particularly worried about keeping things clean lately. She even cleared the table off the other night without us asking her to and we've never even shown her how to do it beyond our example. She just started clearing things off and putting them by the sink. We didn't even notice until after she was almost done. So, all you parents out there--I'm guessing this phase doesn't last long? Enjoy it while it lasts, you're saying in your head?
