Weston the Helper

Weston is such a big help. He tries so hard to make us happy and helps out a lot. I can't vacuum or sweep without him wedging his way in there and assiting. He also picks up toys Natalie drops and gives them back to her. He shares his food with all of us and even tries to shove food and sippy cups in Natalie's mouth. She is such a sport.

Lately he has really improved on cleaning up after himself. We will ask him to put away his toys and he will pick it up and run into the toy room. Sometimes this takes quite the coercing but for the most part he is pretty good. Sometimes we even can get him to throw away his diapers by telling him "go throw it away."

So, this morning I ask him to "go throw away" his and Natalie's diapers. He smiles, picks up the diapers, and starts running into the toy room. He places them on the floor ("putting them away") and then walks out clapping. Not quite, but it was just so cute that I congratulated him and thanked him for being so helpful! :)
