Little Helping Hands

Parker has been helping around the house a lot recently. When we first moved in to our new place he would help me push boxes around. He now helps to move the laundry basket over to the washer and dryer. He has been so helpful in allowing me to fill up his bottle with milk. I give him the lid to the milk and then when I'm done pouring he will put the lid back on and put the milk in the fridge. He does great when there is less than half a gallon. We haven't filmed him putting his diaper in the diaper champ but once he has been changed he knows right where to put the diaper (we need to make sure it actually goes in the champ). Parker loves to help sweep up the floor too. If there is music he will even do a little dance for you. More to come on Parkers dance moves! We are working on getting him to stay on the ground while we vacuum. The vacuum can be a scary thing every now and again. Parker has been learning to brush his own teeth. After we brush his teeth he will take the toothbrush and suck on it and even brush most places other than his teeth. He loves the taste of the Thomas the Train toothpaste. We have also introduced utensils to our little dude. It sure helps out when Parker can remain a little more clean during meal time. He really likes to use the fork and always likes to have it in his hand even if he doesn't use it much.

Parker was really helpful on night when he went to bed an hour early. We weren't quite ready for him to be going to bed, let's just say we were a bit surprised during dinner.
