Helpers

It's amazing (and scary) how kids mimic their parents. Warner has appointed himself Kevin's mowing assistant, closely following each step his dad makes as he cuts the grass.

Of course Warner uses his own mower while Kevin uses his. It makes my heart melt to watch my little man help his Dad.

Meanwhile, Maren has taken to helping me with the dishwasher. I swear she can hear the dishwasher door open from anywhere in the house. She comes speed-crawling as fast as her little legs will take her to snatch a spoon or cup to bang together and scoot across the kitchen floor.
Of course they pick up our bad habits too, like Warner wiping his nose on his shirt - I'm ashamed to admit Kevin and I are both guilty of this when a kleenex is not handy. Do as we say, kids, not as we do.
