Time to wash?

I bought Ryland a new shirt, and he was very excited to wear it.  Now. 

I told him that I would wash and dry it, so he could wear it later in the week when it warmed up outside.  He asked me if I had washed and dried it about 30 minutes later.  I told him no, and this is what I found in the laundry room....

 

Ryland threw the clothes in dryer on the floor and put the wet clothes in the dryer.  He then informed me that the washer was ready for his shirt. 

 

He wasn't so subtle in telling me it was time to wash, at least he is helping with chores.

Mommy's mopping helper

Every chore around the house is another learning opportunity for Ryland. He wants the help with EVERYTHING. Sometimes I practically beg him to just watch mommy, so he will know how to do it next time. That technique doesn't work. I tried to mop today, and my mop was promptly taken away by my helper. Too bad this helpful nature won't stay around forever. He will never be able to use the excuse of not knowing how to do it. The pictures do look like child labor, but I promise he is having fun.

Little helper

Ryland is a great little helper, and he likes playing with the dishwasher. I load the dishes, and he unloads. The only problem is that he doesn't wait to run the dishwasher before he starts unloading. Now, the dishes have to be loaded in super speed. At least it is proof that a guy can help with the dishes!

Chores & flowers do mix

Washing bottles and doing dishes are OK when beautiful fresh flowers are nearby. I absolutely love hydrangeas, garden roses, and Casablanca lillies. They smelled wonderful and lasted over a week and a half.
