A Little Helper

There is a young man at our house right now that has decided he likes to help his grandma in the kitchen.  The other day she started making pancakes for dinner and he hustled right in there to help out.  Had to have his turn stirring.

Never mind that it soon devolved into playing in the water.  The point is, he was "helping".

Another favorite activity is doing dishes.  He's still learning the fine art of loading the dishwasher.  But once again, he's right there pitching in.

Of course, since he is still learning, you have to keep an eye on him to make sure the dishwasher is actually getting loaded and not just rearranged or even unloaded.  Nevertheless, he has a willing heart.

Even when our dishwasher was on the blink for a little while and we had to wash dishes the old fashion way (that brought back memories, for sure) he was still right there, ready and willing to help where he could.

But, despite his willingness to help, he does require supervision.  Otherwise, the dish washing could again devolve into playing in the water.  Ah, such a sweet little boy.
