Jonathan Day 75

Today JH was quite the helper!

We started the morning off by waking up in the right side of the bed. Had a little breakfast and JH helped me finish washing the windows. JH likes cleaning and now says fall cleaning. Every time I went for the Windex...there it was in his hands. I realize he was simply picking everything in sight, but I would like to think he had my back. :)

After washing the remaining windows we said goodbye to Daddy and went for our four mile walk. It's been a few weeks since we hit the streets. It was fun for JH and a workout for Da Da! Every other word was what he saw; tree, BIG truck, school bus, Po Office, etc.

We joined Daddy for a little lunch and then JH was down for his afternoon nap. Okay, not nap, time alone in bed to sing and talk to himself. For some reason he's just not napping lately.

After JH's nap we went outside to do some yard work while Daddy finished his work day. We got on the lawn tractor and mowed the lawn, rolled the new shed pad and cleared some brush. JH constantly says "my turn" or "help Da Da". As I was picking up old bricks there was JH right by my side doing the same only in smaller scale. After trimming some old bushes, JH started snapping the small twigs in half and putting in the wheel barrel.

He has a great work ethic at such a young age. What ever he sees other doing he wants to do as well. If he gets in a pickle he simply stops and says "do it"! Then he does it again and before you know it he does it himself. He's quite the problem solver.

Well as usual the day must come to an end. After Daddy finished his work day he came out and played in the yard with us for a bit. Then we came is and got cleaned up/baths before dinner. Mmm peanut butter, raspberry jelly and sliced bananas on whole wheat! Dinner was a success.

As I type tonight's entry Daddy is in the bathroom trying to get JH ready for bed. I have to say watching the whole procedure and JH's curiosity is priceless. 15 more minutes and off to bed we go!
