As some of you probably know, this is my 20-month-old niece Avery, and she is my little helper. Today, we worked in the yard. Well, I did all the work while she mostly watched me and played with rocks–the girl loves rocks–so does her seven-year-old brother Christian–must be genetic :).
Anyway, here she is trying to step on a microscopic spider (or make it go away.)
Here she is sporting her “mean” look. Are you scared?
Since my husband and I don’t have any grandchildren, I figure the next best thing to having them is to have nieces and nephews, and we do have plenty of those. Most of them are grown though, so we dote a lot on Avery. I have a lot of nicknames for her. My favorite is Mamacita. I also call her Miss Lucy, Miss Daisy, and most recently, Boss Lady (I’m sure you can guess how she got this one :).)
Well, this is part of how I spent my day with My Little Helper. I hope you had an awesome day.
From my heart to yours!
Maxine 🙂

Miss Maxine, I can’t wait when all of you come up to visit. I can show you my grandparents’ farm. We’ll have lots of fun. Have a nice day, and please don’t stir up any more ant nests, okay? LOL

LOL!!! I can’t wait to visit either, Joseph. I am a country girl and know that I will love your grandparents’ farm. Oh, yes, I’ll try my best to keep Mama away from the ant hills. She’s a mess! 🙂 ❤
