Elias handing me the last plate from the bottom rack.
Elias has really taken an interest in “helping” me lately. He likes to help push the vacuum and to hold the dust pan for me when I sweep. He swiffered the floor when we were cleaning up after our time in Sunriver. He helps me put clothes in the dryer. He sometimes – sort of – helps clean up the toys these days.
This morning he was helping me unload the dishwasher. It caused some anxiety for me because I didn’t want him to drop any of them and get cut. But he was so happy and proud to hand me each bowl and plate

that I decided to stop and snap a couple pictures as we finished the bottom rack and were moving to the top. Let’s hope the enthusiasm continues well into childhood and adolescence.
