"I has gubs!"

Usually the lad will watch a choo-choo train vid whilst mommy gets the morning dishes done, lately he demands in on it, despite mommy's protests that it is so boring, etc...Nate insisted on getting the blue gobs on and washing the favorite spoony, the wacky guy (how did he get so silly?? hmm...).



Not only does a busy busy toddler have to do EVERYTHING momma and daddy do, he will often ask to do it just after you have, i.e., just rolled down the car window, you hear "I DO BY SELF???!!!!" and up and down the window must go. Ditto for doors shutting, things being put away, etc...Sometimes we can slow down and let Nate do some of the heavy lifting, and move him along to the next thing, but the repetition is getting intense again.

And added from this morning, the post-watering sweep-up. The boy goes and gets the broom himself, sweeps. Mommy gets him his own next week at the gardening outlet...
