Earning his keep

Andrew keeps us giggling around here.  He still isn't talking much but what he does say is hilarious, I think I may need to change the name of this blog to "Stuff Andrew Says" when he really starts talking because I am sure I will want to share it all so I can look back in 15 years and giggle about it again!

The other day we were sitting on the porch eating popsicles and watching the rain.
Andrew looked over and said "Oh no, truck is all wet"
Me: "yeah Daddy's truck is all wet"
Andrew: "NO, it's ME truck"
Me:  "That is your truck"
Andrew; "Yep, it's ME truck"

He also kept telling me there was a monkey in the tree out front.  When I would look in the tree he would say "oh, he's hiding" and as soon as I would look away he would yell "LOOK, mokey!" and point to the tree again.

One of Andrew's favorite things to do is help.  Here he is doing the dishes.

And washing HIS truck

Of course all this helping has it's perks too, Sunday he helped me frost a cake and got to lick the spatula.

Emily wasn't very helpful with the frosting, but she sure helped eat the cake.  I think she is a chocolate fan, she screamed when the cake was gone.

We made a trip to the hardware store the other day.  I love when these two sit in the cart together.

And Emily loves to give her brother a hard time (and he loves it too).  You can hear her growling at him in this video :)

Yesterday we went to the playground.  Emily Loved the swing!  She giggled so much she was snorting.  And Andrew has pretty much mastered everything but the monkey bars, He even scaled the 5+ year old equipment like a pro.  

After the park we went and bought some plants, Andrew helped me push my cart and load up the plants and proudly announced to everyone, "I'm helping!".  Then when we got home he helped me plant and Emily took an afternoon nap in the sun.
