Helping with laundry and other things...

Sam is turning into a big helper. I first noticed this with the laundry.

During the day I try to teach Sam about God's word. I want him to be hearing God's word and learning what it means.

So...yesterday we were talking about Proverbs 6:6-9

"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep?"

Ok...back to the laundry.

I do a lot of laundry.

A LOT of laundry.

When I tell Sam we need to do our work he will walk over to the dryer.

And then he helps.

First, he trys to remove the dryer balls. Then I realized yesterday that he was putting dirty clothes...mostly socks....right into the dryer as I was putting the wet clothes from the washer. :) When I caught him...the little toot started laughing. He started laughing!

The thing I notice most about Sam's helping is that he does it with everything that he has. He will see a piece of lint on the floor...carefully bend down and pick it up and then bring it to me as if it's the most precious thing in the world. He works so very hard at helping.

I love this little guy...but the first time he brings me a bug or frog or some other creepy crawly thing to me...I'm going to pass out.
