"Sew" Adorable!

No Child Labor Laws were violated in this blog post ;-P

It doesn't take a psychology degree to realize that children learn by watching their parents and those around them. Katy ALWAYS wants to be doing what I'm doing, she wants to eat what I'm eating, and more than once, I've caught my phrases and words coming out of her mouth.

Lately, I've been putting my sewing machine to good use. I've sewn some clothes. I've sewn some gifts. And I've sewn lots and lots of reusable snack bags. Of course, Katy has been right by my side, wanting to get in on the action. One evening, we were in the art room and Katy pulled out my sewing machine, pulled up a chair, turned on the machine, looked at me and as she was putting a piece of material under the needle, she informed me, "I use sewing 'chine. I sewing all by myself!" The funny (and slightly scary!) thing is that Katy knew exactly what buttons to push (literally and figuratively ;-) and she understood that you needed thread, pins and material in order to sew.
