Little C has developed this wonderful quality that I really hope he keeps as he gets older. This quality is that he LOVES to help. He throws fits if I don't let him help. He loves to help Mommy empty the dishwasher and put dishes away. He loves to help Mommy make dinner by stirring and adding things in when Mommy says to add them. Oh and I can't forget to add that he loves making sure everything is up to the proper taste standards as we cook (he tastes everything!). He loves to set the table and to help clear it when the meal is done. He loves to throw garbage away. When he sees a piece of garbage somewhere (including at the park) he will pick it up and say "away" then proceed to find the nearest garbage can and dispose of it.
Little C has also developed a love of cleaning up. He learned the song "clean up, clean up" in the nursery at church and has brought it home. He will start singing "clean up, clean up", then he looks at Mommy to pick up the singing of the song and once Mommy starts singing he will promptly begin picking up his toys and putting them in his toy box. He also will do this when he spills his snack and has to pick it up off the floor.
The latest thing Little C has discovered and insists on helping Mommy with is watering the garden or lawn. He is so adorable and helpful I had to take some pics last week while he helped water.

| Watering the tomatoes |

| Trying to feel the water while he sprays ... every time he tried this the water would quit because it took him two hands to get enough pressure on the handle to make the sprayer work |

| Getting down low ... |

| Down low ... and a little off the plants, but he's trying ... |

| Peppers ... |

| Gotta get the bottom of the plant ... |

I really hope he keeps this helpful trait as he gets older. He is so sweet about helping and this Mommy loves her Little Helper!!!
