Working Man

So L loves to work.  I think if we did chores all day he'd be the happiest little boy alive.  Today he helped me clean the mirror in his playroom and kept wanting me to spray more on it so he could wipe it.  He dusts all the time and helps with dishes both in the sink and the dishwasher.  It's so cute when we unload the dishwasher he runs to get his small stool and brings it back to the kitchen so he can reach the glasses in the top drawer to hand to me to put away.  He's great about loading it up too.  He mostly loads plates and silverware.  He's been helping us cook for quite some time by handing us items on the counter or helping us mix or cut things on the counter but tonight I got brave enough to put his Learning Tower in front of the stove and let him help me stir.  He did excellent!  He kept his hands where I showed him to put them and stirred for a while.  One of his favorite things to do though is to help his dad cook eggs.  Even if he's not hungry he'll run to the fridge and ask my husband to cook eggs :).  He will gently hand over eggs from the carton, watch my husband crack them and then help stir them into scrambled eggs.

He's getting really good about doing dishes, he wipes them with the soapy water and rinses them.  Of course there's a lot of scooping and pouring that goes on too, what toddler wouldn't love some serious scooping and pouring action?

He's also really into bubbles lately.  He has a book about bubbles and he runs around saying "Babul" all the time.  So we bought him a big thing of bubbles and he really really loved them.  He loved watching his dad blow bubbles for the longest time, and he liked watching them pop too!

After a while though he wanted to dip the stick in the bubble solution.  He had trouble blowing on it though so he mostly ended up licking the stick lol.  Then he figured out to bring it to my husband or I to blow for him.
