Carly now has a "chore." For the past week or so she has been helping Dave and me with Jake. She follows one of us to the pantry, closes the door behind us, then follows us to Jake's bowl. She patiently watches one of us dump his food in the bowl, and then she carries Jake's scoop back to the pantry, waits on one of us to open the pantry door before putting the scoop away and closing the door behind her. She then goes on her merry little way.
Tonight Carly was playing with Dave in the family room. She heard me starting to feed Jake and got up, climbing over Dave to come help. As soon as she finished putting the scoop away and closed the pantry door she when straight back to playing with Dave (after she crawled back over him, of course).
I love the way little children want to help. Love, Aunt Bubble
