A baby's work is never done...

Now that I will be working full-time in Tacoma/Gig Harbor, might need some extra help around the house in Puyallup--Only thing I'm confident about right now is my lack of ability to maint order amidst the clutter that seemingly appears in every room I just straightened?! No worries! I haven't even had to look beyond my 16 mo. old:)

He hearts utensils & can occupy himself for quite a while with one in hand... He is esp partial to spatulas and you should've seen his eyes light up when I pulled out 4 @ one time! Then he got to use one for real on last night's pancakes for dinner (not ashamed of my lack o' skills in the kitchen-my boys are still thriving:)Seriously he will carry 'em around with him like a blanket/stuffed animal-even to car or during naps?! Grandpa Gar & a couple pre-dent uncles will be proud to know he enjoys a good toothbrush whenever he spots one or two as seen here while leisurely watching a movie with other Parker boys!He takes after Cole with an early affinity toward the vacuum as well...Notice I've tried to keep lighter attachment on so his grunting noises while lifting are subdued! Good workout for me too since he likes me to carry him while I do it myself:)
Last but not least, he's always ready & willing to assist with loading or unloading of dishwasher...Tough to refrain from sharp obj & lately he really wants to climb into it (as seen in Yakima post), but we don't encourage either:/*Not pictured were his efforts to move clothes from washer to dryer this am?! He's a keeper!
Unfortunately, while he cannot be blamed for using the scissors on himself (we do have limits to child labor laws & safety guidelines:), he has parted unintentionally with his curls this week:( We were kinda @ a loss for how to tame the business on top while keeping the party in the back?! Let's hope they return just like his cleaning fetishes!
