mommy's little helper

pbs has started "helping" with the laundry, dishes, nightly trash take out and picking up his books and toys. i'm quite happy that he wants to do this already. although we have to be careful before starting the washer...i found a chubby truck in there the other day.

he likes to hand me the clothes to put into the washer. sometimes he reaches up and throws a sock or something in. after it's washed i separate the air dry and dryer safe clothes. pbs likes to "help" with the air dry clothes that i've hung on the dryer rack. if we're not watching, he'll pull off a piece and run around with it. the other day i wasn't paying full attention and he decided it was a good idea to run around the apartment with a pair of underwear around his neck like a necklace. it was kind of funny, and i did chuckle, but i told him no and hung them back on the rack.

he's been trying to "help" with loading and unloading the dishwasher for several months. he pushes the buttons, pulls out the racks and puts toys in. he does take clean dishes out one at a time and hand them to either js or me to put away.

trash is one of his favorite words. he follows js around every night to gather up all the trash for the nightly pick up. he does like to take the trash out of the can too. we're trying to break him of that...so far not very successfully.

i love mommy's little helper.
