You know when you are friends with someone long enough you can understand what they say, even with a mouth full of food, a grunt, and a nod of the head? That happened with B and I tonight. We were having a gourmet dinner of McD’s (I know, but we hardly have it and it's a busy night at our house on Tuesday’s) and we were finishing up. We had talked about washing hands after dinner, a favorite activity of B’s, and he had remembered. With a mouth full of dinner had said “Me wash hands?” I said yes. His response was to nod his head toward the kitchen, give a cute smile, and and give a grunt. Instantly I knew what he wanted, to wash his hands in the golden sink, the kitchen sink. He loves to do anything that involves the kitchen sink. This for me involves lots and lots of towels.
The other day he helped me do dishes. It had been a couple days so there was quite a backup. I had almost finished when he decided to help me. I don’t always so it is a treat when I do. So I pulled the stool up, which does not work well size wise and he has to stand on it sideways, and off he went merrily washing away. By the time he “finished” half of the clean dishes were back in the sink.
I love just watching him do whatever comes to his little mind. Just now he was giving a drink to the dog from his juice box.
