The following exchanges between Rachel and me this morning illustrate how changeable she is:
At breakfast I sat down with her briefly while she was eating her cereal. Since I'm working from home today (and I've had trouble getting sleep the last few nights), I looked kind of dragged out.
"You look like a VAMPIRE BAT!" she exclaimed.
"VAMPIRE BAT?" I grumbled. "Really." And I stomped off to the bathroom to finish blow-drying my hair.
"All right, all right!" she called from the kitchen. "You look like a queen!"

I was trying to put away Rachel's laundry this morning. "I can do it, Mommy," she said. "It's MY laundry, so I should put it away."
I told her we didn't have time, she needed to get dressed.
"Mommy, you do too much cleaning up in this house," she said as she took off her pajamas.
"Wanna help me?" I replied.
"Of course!" she replied. "I'd love to help you. What could I help you with?"
