Momma's big helper

My sweet William is such a helper!! Anytime I open the fridge, washer, cuboard, or wardrobes he is right behind me ready to get involved and help!
"Don't worry mom, I'll reorganize in here for you."

This isn't so much a 'helping' shot. It's just another one of his favorite things to do.
Same here- another favorite thing to do. He was a happy boy those days when Daddy was home sick. When Nathaniel comes home from work he can't even get off his coat before William is pulling himself up on his legs crying to be picked up. All my attempts to make him a momma's boy have been in vain. He's a Daddy's boy, to be sure.


This week William has figured out how to open the cupboard under the sink. Fabulous.
He LOVES the washing machine! Unfortunately- he's tall enough now that his excited palms slamming the maching hit buttons and change the cycle or turn the dang thing off. Without intervention it takes 2 hours as it is! When he's been near it- I always have to make sure it's still running or it'll take all day to get a load washed. He's also figured out this week how to open the drawer that you pour the detergent in. Fabulous.
William's tub doubles as a laundry basket. In this picture he'd climbed in so he could throw all the clean clothes out.


Helping to put the laudry away, or rather, tearing everything out of the wardrobe.

The lighting on this really is terrible, but his little bum looks sooo cute when he dances!

Oh how I just love it when they are helpful that way.

Oh Felicity, he has grown up so much!! Standing there dancing. Crazy! I envy all your trips around Europe, but I don't envy your make shift living, I see your little closets, cupboards, and am grateful to not be living in "limbo". You're a superstar, that would be so hard with a baby. :-)

Your son is soooo cute! That picture with his little smirk is too adorable. We can't wait until you come home and play with us. Our boys will be so funny together. Love you!

Sorry he likes to help with the laundry -- that's frustrating. It is cute how he loves to get into your cupboards, what an adventureous boy -- and such a good dancer.

So cute! Our family lovingly calls children "help-hurts" when they so want to be in the thick of things...helping. :)

i know i have said it before but i will say it again, what a cutie! i feel your pain on the daddy's boy thing though, if j doesn't pick v up within seconds of getting in the door there is crying! just think, not too much longer and you can return home and baby proof to combat some of that helping, haha.

Our little one loves to help with laundry too! Today she was helping me clean the shower - I will have to put up a picture. William is adorable. If you are ever out our way (when you come back from your globe trotting), we would love to see you.
