Now ... who needs mommy?

To add to the humor that Ryan experienced Sat morning while I was shopping, today Ms. J and Mr. A again wanted to play mommy and baby. So Ms. J grabs her laundry basket (which is full of a weeks worth of clothes), carries it down the stairs, and into the laundry room. There, Mr. A gives Ms. J a piece of clothing out of the basket, and she puts it in the washing machine!!! Absolutely hysterical!

Now, mind you, I had no intention of doing either of their laundry today, but since most of her clothes were already in the machine... why stop? So we washed their clothes, but as I was placing the clothes into the dryer, Mr. A runs in and is asking to help... well of course! So, individually, piece by piece, I give Mr. A a piece of laundry, and he places it into the dryer.

He hasn't quite caught onto the concept that the clothes need to be dried though... so as soon as the dryer is full, he starts taking clothes out of the dryer and putting them in the laundry basket!!! NOOOO!!!! They need to dry first!!!

But knowing that he wants to do this... when the dryer was done, I let him pull all the clothes out of the dryer and put them in the laundry basket, while I was making dinner. When I went to check on him, I found him taking the clean clothes, that he had placed in the laundry basket, back into the washing machine.... Funny boy!!!'

So anyway... I wish I could have gotten pics, but by the time I would have grabbed the camera, the moment would have been lost. We got one great chuckle out of their laundry adventure!

Who Needs Daddy

When Michelle goes out grocery shopping on Saturday mornings, Ryan watches Jadyn and Andru. One of Jadyn's favorite activities is going into the garage, sitting in the car, and pretending that we are all driving somewhere, and paying for food with make-believe money.

This past Saturday, Jadyn and Andru were in a hurry to embark on our make-believe trip. So much of a hurry that they decided to get Andru into his car seat all by himself!

It usually takes some effort for an adult to properly secure a two-year-old into a car seat, but Andru managed to climb into our tall Jeep all by himself, and with the help of sister Jadyn, fasten himself correctly into his car seat.

When Ryan went to get into the Jeep, they were both seat-belted in, and ready for our trip. Good to have kids who know where they are going!
