My Little Helper

Henry has reached a very clingy, very needy phase. Though I do love the extra snuggles I get out of it, it makes it challenging to get much done around the house. He won't let me work on many of my chores because essentially it means I'm not giving him 100% of my attention - of which he is very deserving, but results in a messier house and a frazzled mama. I won't be too torn up when he decides a little independence is a good thing again.

When in the kitchen, I have two lower cabinets with pull out drawers full of tupperware and other plastics that are kid-safe and fun to explore. Sometimes I can convince him to sit and play in these drawers long enough for me to wash a few dishes, prepare a meal, or put away groceries. Most of the time though he would rather follow me around the narrow galley-style kitchen, clinging to the back of my legs. ;)

I decided I might as well put him to work!


Isn't he the cutest little dishwasher you ever saw??
