ellful

Mr. Independent has become Mr. Helpful, in his own way. He loves reminding me how "ellful" he is. One of his favorite games is picking up his basket of Mega Blocks, dumping them out, and singing "neenup! neenup!" He brings in the mail and the newspaper and even tries to bring the rake off the porch and into the house. Trumping all of this, however, if the refrigerator. Mr. Independent loves little more than to help Mama unpack groceries. Which is why, if you ever come over to my house, you'll likely find some ramen noodles, empty gladwares, cans of black beans, and a grocery receipt in the crisper drawer.
