Nash is a great helper. He is always usually willing to jump in and help whenever I ask and loves learning how to do things. I’ve been teaching him how to set the table and he knows just how I like it to be set….or so I thought! I was busy making dinner so I asked Nash if he would set the table for me.  “Sure, Mama!” he said and went right to work. I set out the plates, napkins, and forks in the kitchen and let him carry them in to the dining room and set the table …unsupervised. He was happy as could be and I noticed he was really taking his time with the task. Finally, I walked into the dining room to check on him and with a giant smile on his face, Nash says, “I did it, Mama!!”. He was so proud of the job he had done…

I have to praise his creative skills and work ethic. Notice he moved around the big chairs, added a small kid chair on TOP of one and a food stool (He told me he was going to stand on the stool and eat his dinner off the kid chair…notice the plate and napkin? He’s an outside the box thinker!). He did manage to get the other plates and napkins kind of close to where they should go. But what I liked best was the addition of several toys from the play room including musical instruments strategically placed so we could sing for our supper, perhaps? The forks ended up in the guitar…so we will have to work on the placement of silverware on the table…

I love how my little people make me laugh…and bring joy to the mundane and little things in life!
