Landon impresses me almost everyday with what he is learning and what he has learned that I or Josh haven't necessarily taught him. He is like a little sponge. Today at dinner time was one of those times.
We had a family dinner movie night. Every once in a while we watch a family movie while we eat dinner and then all snuggle up afterward and finish before we head Landon off to bed. We all love these nights. Josh had made homemade soup. It was yummy. Landon eats a lot but he doesn't always finish his dinner. Tonight he did and that is one thing we were proud of because it was with no prompting from Mom or Dad. Then he asked to get done from his chair (We bring his chair into the living room because 2 years olds aren't the best at eat on the couch as I am sure any of you with children would know). When he got down he picked up his bowl and spoon and disappeared. A second later I heard his bowl fall into the sink and Landon say "put away all finished." He then crawled up next to us on the couch and cuddled. Although he does put his dishes away it normally is because we ask and it is not a rule that he puts them away. Josh and I were just so proud that he did this on his own.
He is such a great helper, in general. He know to put his shoes away (he even puts Daddy's away when he forgets), he feeds the cats and dogs, he helps me carry the laundry to the laundry room, he helps put away the clean dishes (the silverware and cooking utensils that aren't sharp), and is always asking to help with everything. His favorite thing to help with his cooking, he loves measuring, stirring and anything else we can let him help with.
It is hard to believe that my little 6lbs 11 oz baby is now just a little over 2 years old and is growing up so fast.
