Matching socks

Vivi loves "helping" sort her clean laundry. This usually means that as I (or Lyle) put her clothes into piles (all the shirts in one pile and the pants in another), she grabs the clothes out of the top of basket and throws them somewhere on the floor. However, last week, as I was sorting out her laundry, she systematically picked out socks and handed them to me. I figured that was progress - she was starting to recognize that we were putting clothes of the same type together. Then, last night, after making a pile of socks, I was matching her socks and folding them together. She found two socks (that matched!) and handed them to me to be put together. It's amazing what she learns from watching.
