Help Around the House

I am being reminded how much time a newborn takes and how other tasks often don't get done.  Thankfully, the Wee Lad has stepped up to help around the house.

He vacuums.

He makes cookies and is pretty good about not eating too much of the dough.

He helped decorate for Gil's birthday and took his card making very seriously, using his drill and wearing his safety glasses.

He uses my hand pump to pump his belly button every morning to provide milk for his sister.  He uses my shirt holder as well because that's how I do it and that's how it should be done.

He cleans his bathroom

He does the laundry. (Seriously, he does everything except putting in the soap and folding the clean clothes.)

He comforts his sister when she is sad.  (That little girl looks just like her dad in this picture.)

Since he's been helping out so much, we went to the park to play last week for a break from household chores.  It was a new park and we both loved it!  What an awesome playground.  We'll be coming here again.

There was a splash pad next to the playground that we decided to test as well.  Wesley wasn't too keen on our splash pad back in CA, but he was in heaven at this one.  We will definitely be frequenting this and others like it as the temps continue to climb.

We adventured a bit in the mountains on the south side of the valley yesterday.  Wesley got up on this pedestal and said, "Look, Mom, I'm a statue!" 

This boy is amazing, so smart, so quick, and such a good natured and sweet child.  Sometimes it's hard to believe he's still only two (at least for another few weeks).  I am so glad he is my Little Man.
