Lists, Lists, and More Lists!!

I am a list kind of girl. I make lists for everything....grocery lists, dinner lists, around the house to do lists, to do lists at school, lists of my other lists....it is kind of an unwanted obsession of mine. One night I was feeling overwhelmed with things that needed to be done, so I confessed my list problem to Andy. That's when he finally realized how list-crazy I was and how it was taking over control of me :) He told me that he has never even thought of making one list about anything. Since he is a helpful and kind husband, he asked what was on my list that he could help out with....so guess what I did??? I made an "Andy List" for him :) Another obsession - I also love post-its. My computer screen at work is full of post it notes. The post-it notes are sometimes also on my school to do list. Oh, and I love how great it feels to cross things off my list or throw away a post-it note......a sense of productivity and success!!!

Anyways......the original story that I was going to post needed the above background information about myself. I think I have passed on my list obsession to my daughter. Whenever she sees me with a notebook or pad of paper, she immediately starts begging for it and a pen. So I give her a pad of paper of her own and her own pen. She walks around the house acting like she is working, working, working. She pretends to scribble and take notes. It is one of her favorite things to play! I just need to start working on teaching her how to write real words, so she can make her own lists!

I interrupted Bella while she was playing "lists" to video tape her....not sure what her goofy faces are all about. She started that a couple of weeks ago!
