Life of a 2 year old boy...and his dog.

My latest completed project, that I started oh, sometime this summer as I was collecting old yard sticks I could find at garage sales. So it's like a piece of history, but functional. If you know me I don't have much use for things without function. S is quite the helper and he loved this project, probably because it was like playing with lots of swords until I finally got it together. Now he just uses my knitting needles as swords, and bats, and drumsticks.
His first black eye...mean kids. Just kidding, it was of course from his best friend Chile (the dog).

The delights of paint, "it looks great on the paper I bet it would look even better on my belly!" The brush was used for a short period of time, haha.

Despite the negative consequences he receives, he continues to play in the dog's water, and takes many of his toys for a swim therein. Here is bunny soaked and ready for the washing machine.

Chile has to get in as many photos as possible :) A boy loves his boxes, and this one is the perfect size for him to fold himself up inside. Hours of fun.

This is the typical scene in the kitchen as I'm cooking dinner...two creatures crawling around under my feet. And what fun would it be without a collander on your head?

As he is such a great helper in the kitchen, he must inspect, take inventory,and rearrange his ingredients. He frequently brings me a can of pineapple or peas and says "eat". I haven't openned a can for him yet, they are more fun unopenned as he can then continue to play with them.

As for other news, he is becoming more able to dress himself, feed the dog, do somersaults, help unload the dishwasher, and with baking. He is more than able to clean his room, put books, clothes, and toys away from around the house, put the clothes in the dryer, take his dishes to the sink, and entertain the dog for hours. I love my little helper and I'm so proud of him! One of my favorite things he does is get out a dominoe or 2 and hold it up to his ear like phone and say "Daddy-O, Daddy-O, truck, Mama, Daddy-O" It's too cute to behold. Hope you all enjoy the pictures.
