Mommys little helper

     I am sitting here enjoying some of the most tasty left overs ever and I realized I haven't yet posted about Sunday. I love Sundays. If Jd is not working we go to church and if he is Samual and I usually enjoy some quiet time at home making dinner and watching movies. However this Sunday we had to take Jd to work, grocery shop, cook dinner and attempt cleaning.

     After running Jd to work and grocery shopping the last thing I wanted to do was cook dinner, in fact I wanted to rest but laundry needed to be done and dinner doesn't cook itself, at least not in this house it doesn't. When Samual and I got home from the store Samual was asleep so I quietly took him to his bed, put away the groceries and threw some food into the crock pot.

     After Samual woke up it was time to turn around and head back to the store. We grabbed a couple more items and picked up Jd. When we got home the crock pot needed stirring so Samual jumped at the opportunity to help.

     When it came time to squeeze the Lime for the cilantro lime rice, I did not have a hard time finding a helper for that either.
     He had a hard time with the squeezing motion but he loved watching the lime juice fall into the bowl. He even helped me pour the lime concoction into the rice.

     It was so awesome to see him getting involved in tasks and having so much fun. While I don't think he understands the concept of "helping" just yet, I do think he is loving being with Jd and I while we are doing these tasks.

     After he wakes up from his nap were going to work on cleaning the living room and his room. I am still trying to come up with ways to make that fun for him but so far its been a bit of a fight. I'll be posting about this in the next couple days with pictures.

     I have been doing some research in the last couple days about how to make his room a little more therapeutic and easier to clean/more organized. I have been looking into toys and activities that will help stimulate him a little and ways to make his room a little more calming. Once I start this process I will be posting pictures of what we come up with.

Peace and Love,
