Jacen my helper

I can't believe how much Jacen has grown up these last few months. He has always been my little helper but it is crazy how helpful he really is. He helps with the dishes, clean and dirty, the laundry, sweeping (okay this one he doesn't really get yet. He messes up my pile, so I try to be really quick and then we fake sweep together), and there is probably more.



I had him help me put the utensils in the correct spots. I would point to where the utensil went and he would put it there. I had only worked with him on this twice. Then there was a day when I really needed to put the dishes away without help, so I put him up on the chair and let him go to work on the utensils. Oh, I did make, sure that there was one utensil in each spot so he could match the other utensils. Here is what he did at 22 mo. old :)

He has also been helping me set the table. Wow, for real...I hope this continues once the baby comes :)



I rested my broom here and later came back to his broom right there with mine. Scott said Jacen kept trying until it stayed up. Honestly, how cute is this picture?!

I love little helpers! So cute that he put his broom there too!

Very cute Stacia! I think (hope) he will keep it up when the baby comes. Especially if you make a really big deal about how you couldn't make it without your "big helper". That will probably give him the attention he will want when everyone is oohing and aahing over the new little one. (at least that's the theory:) Cute bump by the way. And I really like the shorter hair. D-

That's sweet. Where can I get me one of those?

I was mad about the rating too. It's ridiculous. There is nothing in the movie that you don't see on network television. Andy says they always go harder on indies then big budget films, because indies can't afford to pay for a lower rating. Really, if you think about Dark Knight being PG and Dead Noon being R... it is ridiculous!

This is the cutest thing...what a big helper. I hope Abby is a helper like Jacen. You're such a good mom!

We're excited to see pictures of the baby soon.
