Bad influence?

Some days I wonder whether I have been a bad influence on Hannah. I can be a bit OCD when it comes to neatness and cleanliness. I really don't want Hannah to be that way unless SHE wants to be that way. Nearly everyday when I get home from work, she asks me to wash her night-night..."Mommy, clean this? Wash now!" Sometimes the child is FANATICAL about cleanliness. I guess that's not always a bad thing, but I wonder if that is really normal for a 2 year old? I always thought little kids didn't care about that kind of stuff...

Oh, and if there is a crumb on the table...forget it! The child won't eat until the table has been scrubbed down. Same goes for a piece of fuzz on the carpet, a speck of dirt on her feet, or a hair in the bathtub. Silly girl!

Well, you can blame some of her cleaning habits on the TLC ladies. We're always cleaning, and just before meals and snack, we wipe down the tables. Today, after nap, the chairs were stacked on top of the table. Hannah saw me taking the chairs off, and she ran over, saying "Hannah help, Hannah help!" It was adorable! She's a great helper!

We'll fix her when she comes here... she'll go into messiness overload. Either that or point out all the places I missed :)
