No Parents Needed!

Yesterday, Andrew was such a big help!

I was running late and had to change Lucy and Emmy. Lucy could not decide on what she wanted to wear, so it took a little longer than usual. THEN, Emmy had a spectacular poop blowout, so I had to clean her up, rinse out her pajamas and throw everything into the washer.

On school days, Andrew will wake up, go to the bathroom, get dressed, go downstairs and get his snack packed and then wait for me to get him some breakfast.

On this day, I was running around trying to get poop cleaned up so I could get breakfast for him, Lucy and Emmy.

Andrew, with no prompting from me, got cereal for he and Lucy. This is no easy feat, as the cereal is on the top of the refrigerator and the bowls are on shelves that he cannot reach. Plus the milk is a whole gallon of milk (heavy). So he got one of the dining room chairs, brought it to the fridge, got the cereal. Dragged the chair to the cabinet, got the bowls. Poured the cereal, poured the milk. Got Lucy into her high chair and to top it all off, remembered to say a blessing on the food!

He is such a great big brother and always thinking of ways to help out.
