This afternoon I put a stack of clean linens on the table to fold. Before I could start folding them myself, John sat down and rapidly began folding the small pieces. He asked for my help moving the big towels, so I untangled and folded the two big bath towels in the mix, then John folded the entire basket of kitchen towels, wash cloths, and cloth napkins.
He was so proud!
Then I moved on to emptying the dishwasher before cooking dinner. John saw me starting to put away the utensils and he asked if he could please do it. Okay!
I began putting away the other dishes and John piped up, "Can I help?" I began to say 'no,' but then realized maybe he could put away the children's dishes, which I had been stacking on the counter. He raced over and put them all away in the low cupboard. (All his helpful efforts must have caused his pants to start falling down!)Boy, this makes a mom feel good!
What a guy! Love these little helpers we have. Now how to we hold on to that throughout child and young adulthood??
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing that he's helping you so much!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it so nice to have such a good little helper?? Emma loves to get involved with everything I do!
ReplyDelete(she even offered to nurse Jamie a few mornings ago so I could get some extra sleep, so I had to gently explain a few things to her)
Cute! Paul loves to help too, might have to see if he likes folding! We also have some of the same kitchen towels! The blue set with the white and blue stripe.
