When I returned from the grocery store yesterday there were dusty fingerprints way down low on the refrigerator handles.  I think this is going to be a permanent feature of our new house – here’s the math:  sandbox, sunshine, thirst, and a little one who loves to help herself to her cup in the fridge.

So the dynamics shift.  She can get her own cup now, but I am left with the dusty fingerprints to wipe up.

When Hannah was this age she called the fridge “the fridger-idger”.  And then one day, she got all the syllables in there and has said the full word “refrigerator” ever since.  I think I am not going to worry about those dusty fingerprints…someday those little hands will be too big for playing in the sandbox.
