The boys are getting so big! Dugan is showing himself to be such a helper. Yesterday when I changed their shirts he picked up the dirty ones in the living room and I asked him to go and put them on the floor in front of the washing machine. he even had a hurdle to get over but he did it. Then I pulled out a bag and said, ‘Oh, this is a yard sale bag. I need to put this outside.’ So when we were leaving the house he picked up the bag and carried it outside for me. I’m such a big fan of this stage. And Ronan is such a helper also, just more subtle than his brother They spill (or pour) water on the floor and when I hand them a towel they clean it up. When I’m washing dishes they grab a washcloth and wipe down the door or the floor or something else. I love taking advantage of the natural inclination to “me do” and do like mommy and getting them into the flow of the family at such a young age.
