My little helper

A little cheese taste test

As Alby grows and learns more and more he has started to become quite helpful around the house.  The other day as I cleaned up the toys before bedtime I realised one of his stacking cups had rolled over to the far side of the living room.  I was feeling far too lazy to go and get it so politely asked Alby if he would.  And he did!  Off he waddled to pick it up and bring it back to me – what a result. 

For the last two nights after his bath, he has picked up his nappy, laid it on the floor and sat on it.  Considering that Alby and I have had many a set-to over nappy changes this is nothing short of amazing in my eyes.  Yes okay he has the nappy the wrong way round and when he sits down only half of him is actually on it but let’s focus on the big picture people.

Health and Safety 101

This is the way we wash the chair...

 

Alby is also proving his worth in the kitchen.  Today he leaned over to stir up his dinner on the stove top.  Admittedly I was making an omelette and we ended up with scrambled eggs, there was sufficient cheese to keep it relatively formed.  After dinner was done (and extra love for the little man as he actually ate some of it this evening) he once again showed off his usefulness by assisting with the washing up.  As I washed the dishes Alby ensured that the chair got a good clean and was also tested for strength and durability.
