multi-tasking

When your three -year-old offers to help you carry the groceries into the house do not hand him a carton of blueberries. He will try to eat them while he is walking and this will happen...
He will feel very embarrassed and help you clean up. His version of cleaning up will consist of eating blueberries and watching you pick up the rest. He will then offer to carry the eggs.

The same thing happened to me about a week ago. I don't know if you got them at the same place I did, but we should file a complaint about the packaging. It should be much harder for them to pop open since they turn into marbles and go everywhere!. I am thinking something along the lines of child-proof caps.

Reese and I are checking out your blog and all Reese can say is "Tommy make a mess" about twenty times. Something that Reese knows all about. Making messes! We are so lucky to have such “helpful” little boys.

Oh, what a familiar episode this is at our house. Don't you love little helping hands! :)
