Mommy's Little Helper

Aidan is currently in a stage of dumping things out and then putting them back.. somewhere else. We have been practicing with his shape sorter so that could be a contributing factor. This has become a fun little game we play - Aidan dumps things out and puts them in a new location, and Mommy tries to find them. He loves to take everything out of one of his toy baskets and put everything back into his diaper hamper, or pick up anything he can find in the den and put it in his push toy. I couldn't find my car keys the other day when we were trying to meet friends for lunch. I later found them in the dog's water bowl. Brandon has misplaced his cell phone only to find it had mysteriously ended up in my purse. I have to check the garbage every time I throw something away because Aidan has learned to open the lid and loves to throw away his farm animal frig magnets.

He helps with laundry...

He helps pick up the kitchen...

I have been so proud of my lipstick plant. It loves the sunroom and has been blooming like crazy this year. I noticed that a particular lower section of the plant started missing some of it's flowers. I found them tucked away nicely in the bottom drawer. He prunes!
