Our little man is turning into a true blue “helper”. Luke’s been slowly making progress with his understanding of things. But the other day he totally surprised me. I was putting both kids down for a nap, usually I put Luke down first but this day I put down our baby girl first instead. I was busy changing our daughter’s diaper and saw that we didn’t have all our “nap buddies”. (Our daughter has to have her babies, all three, blanket, small pillow, and blue stuffed monkey). The baby that is her absolute favorite was missing. So I put our daughter in her crib and Luke followed me as I looked in the living room. When I found the baby, I looked at Luke and thought “why not try it”….so I held out the baby and asked Luke to take it to his sister. Sure enough, he grabbed the baby and crawled down the hallway while holding on to the baby. I followed him as he continued down the hallway and into our daughter’s room. Then he said “baba…baba…baba” and got on his knees and handed the baby to his sister. Then she (as only a 2 year old could say), “thannnkk you brobber”. It was a sight to behold!
Then, later in the afternoon after their naps I went to change out the diaper pail trash. I got two bags out of Luke’s closet that are supposed to be “deodorizers”. I put one on the floor in Luke’s room and then took the other to our daughter’s room to change out the bags. By the time I came back to Luke’s room, I looked for the bag and it wasn’t where I left it!! I looked all over his room, and then I looked at the diaper pail….and there was the bag, pushed down on the top part where you put diapers. Luke was trying to help me out and put the bag in the only area he knew of to get it inside. What a helper!
Late on that same day I lost Luke’s Sippy cup. When he got up from his nap I looked and looked and it was nowhere to be found. Well, I gave up and figured I’d find it sometime and got him a new cup. It wasn’t until the following day around lunch when I emptied out the dishwasher and I found his cup. Luke had put it in the bottom section between a plate and a pot, I guess he was trying to make sure it got clean…only problem was the juice cup was still full of juice/water when he put the cup in the wash!
He sure is a silly little guy, but he’s turning out to be a pretty good helper too!
