Our little helper

Our little boy is growing up! Not only is he getting taller and heavier Mario (88cm and 12.3Kg) is now wanting to do everything that Mummy and Daddy do.

Daddy is mowing the lawn and along comes his little helper with his purple and green lawn mower following along behind.

Mummy is in the kitchen making cakes for morning tea when out comes the little stool and a little boy stands up to "help". It may take longer to do the cooking each day now but there is nothing nicer than having someone standing there wanting to try the food, or mix or put patty pans in the containers or the best job of all ... lick the bowl.

We do the groceries and there is a little boy helping to put things on the counter or put "extra" things in the trolley or count the "apuls" as they go in the bag (though we are currently stuck on 2 and it never goes higher) and then when we get home help carry things into the house.

Now if only we could get him to put his toys away each night .......
and not wake up quite so early in the morning ....... roll on daylight savings!!
