A couple days ago, our little man toddled over to the couch, got Sarah's dinner bowl and fork, walked them over to the sink, reached way up and pushed them into the sink! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture or video, since I had no idea what he was about to do - I thought he was just stealing her bowl. :)
Anytime he sees one of us loading the dryer, he scurries over to help. The other day, he actually came over and helped me load the washer - he stood in the laundry basket and handed me clothes one at a time. Took a while, but was much more fun! I have a video of David helping load the dryer:
Today, right about 5pm, David decided he was going to feed the dogs. It was uncanny - as 5pm is their usual dinner time, yet none of us had yet mentioned it. I could be wrong, but I don't think our 15 month old knows how to tell time! :) -- He came into the living room where I was working, and grabbed both dog bowls. Then he walked over to the laundry room to get some dog food - Sarah had one of the other kids help fill the bowls. Then, David came back to the living room with two bowls full of food and made the dogs sit (at least I think so - he had his pacifier in his mouth!). As a reward, he helped himself to some of Peanut's food.
This evening, I spent a while roto-tilling another area in our yard to plant grass. David came up a couple of times and held onto the handle, as if to help me. He looked up and smiled, with a very proud look on his face.
Sarah and I talked about it today - we cannot believe what a big boy our David is already! He certainly has a personality unlike any of the other kids. The way he nods his head or even his whole body when he
"approves" of something we do for him is a crack-up! I will try to get it on video one day soon.

Sarah & Paul im really enjoying all the photo and video commentary to your posts! your children are adorable and shooting up like sprouts :) Ethan is soo big, please let him know we miss him and we are so proud of him. i hope our paths cross again soon!
The video worked this time! How cute! What a good helper you are, David!! : )
My hope is to raise all 4 of my children to be able to cook, clean, and care for themselves and their families before they leave my home. That way both my daughter, and my sons will be blessings to their families. I'm just glad David is taking an interest so early on. :)
What a great goal, Sarah! I know you'll achieve it! : )
David, Grandpa just watched the video of you helping Daddy and he liked it a lot! : )
