Mommy's helper



Langston is such a helper now that he's a "big boy." He wants to take out his trash, clean the bathroom (with the fizzy & stinky, as he calls the vinegar & baking soda combo), and do other chores...for his quarter. If he helps out with these & maybe putting away some toys and laundry, he gets an "allowance" of sorts. It's not weekly, but just about. He helps and then asks for his payment. I know someday this will be more meaningful (and cost me more than a $.25), but he's learning already. One pic is of him taking out his trash, on a day that he dressed himself completely. Underpants and pants were on backwards, shoes on the wrong feet, and that pj top is one of the only long-sleeved ones that he can reach. ;) He was beaming. And no, we didn't go anywhere in public that day, grandmas.
The other pic is of my little cross-dresser. He loves to play in make-up when I put mine on. Barclay is opposed to all kinds of make-up, in general, and Langston would pull out the whole set of clown paint daily, if he had his way. :) He thinks of all make-up as "dress up" or "Halloween," hence the silly face.
