clearing dishes

Megan has started clearing her own dishes from the kitchen table walking them to the sink and putting them in the sink gently. The last time we tried to teach her how to do this she would take them over to the sink and just drop them, or not pay attention to how she was holding it on the way to the sink and spill anything left, or just let the utensils fall out everywhere.

The first time she did it a couple of days ago she just picked up the bowl correctly used her thumb to hold the spoon in the bowl walked over and set it in completely gently.

Also yesterday I was massaging her low back and hips and while I was doing it I said to her that somebody who was trained on how to do it correctly would be doing it for her today and Megan picked her head up and looked at me and smiled the biggest smile.
