Workin' for a livin'

The boys are very into "helping" me at the moment, with just about anything that I am doing. Sweeping the floor, cooking, washing dishes....it doesn't really matter what it is, they LOVE to "help". It flatters me to think that they just want to spend time with their mommy :), but really, I think is just that they are extremely independent and also learning in whatever they are doing. Which is also a good thing. :) And my boys really love to learn. They see me doing something one time, and they want to do it themselves without me getting in the way. Boy I am really in for it, aren't I? :)

Dylan trying on Mommy's apron to help in the kitchen

Both boys trying to get "up high" with the Mr. Clean sponge. They seriously were washing the walls for about a half hour, it was so adorable to watch.

I know that this picture looks a little hard to believe. But, I did not make that track with the snow shovel, Dylan did it all by himself. During this last snow fall, I was convinced that it was not going to prevent us from leaving the house. So, I decided to let the boys play outside in the snow while I shoveled the driveway. Well, of course Dylan couldn't be outdone by his own mother, so he wanted a turn as well. I was apprehensive to let him use the shovel, as it is probably larger then he is, but he insisted. And low and behold, he did it all by himself. He really did shovel the snow off the driveway, I couldn't believe it. It was hilarious to watch, this little 20 month old with a huge snow shovel. He was pretty proud of himself too. :)
