'helping'

LT likes to help out with certain chores around the house. Sweeping is one of his favorite as is filling up the dogs' water dish. Kari sometimes uses the coffee pot to fill the dogs water and apparently LT has been paying attention.

He's also very independent (wonder where he got that?) and he has a stool that he uses to get to things that are out of his reach. The other day I watched him take his stool into the kitchen and climb up and get the coffee pot off of the counter. By the time I'd gotten the camera he'd made his way into the the bathroom and was using the stool to try and reach the sink to fill the pot up. He is independent, like I said, but apparently he's also results oriented because when he realized he wasn't going to be able to fill it up himself, he looked to me for help (pictured above). And how can you say no to that face?

So I helped him fill it up and then let him carry it across the hall to the dog bowls where he made a good effort at pouring it into the dish.

A little water in the dog bowl, a little water on the floor, and a lot of water on the kid.
