How You Know Your Toddler Will Grow up to be a Neat Freak

It was a ''lazy day''. I wasn't feeling too well, so I was taking it easy. The house was clean, not spotless, but clean. We had just eaten lunch, and were getting ready for afternoon quiet time (Eileen won't take naps anymore, so we have 'quiet time to maintain sanity). I sat down and decided to put Eileen's current favorite movie, Shrek on. We watched it together for about 5 minutes, and she gets a very frustrated look on her face, walks to the table, and brings my dirty coffee cup to me. "Mommy cossee (coffee) ewww...dirty" is what she says as she hands the dirty coffee cup to me. After I take the dirty cup to the kitchen, she comes to me with a paper that who knows where she found it, and says ''ewww...trash''.
I finally get the hint (boy am I slow), and ask her ''Do you think we need to clean the house?'' She looks at me VERY SERIOUSLY, nods her head and says ''YESH"
Also, her favorite thing to do, is "wash dishes".

SHE ISN'T EVEN 2, YET!!!!!!!!!!!

I fear that I am raising a future clean freak.
