Dishes

One of Keith's chores at our house is to unload the dishwasher, and his shadow, Zach, has been helping. He loves to mimic, and this is no different, it's just so much fun for him! He stands on the door to reach the top rack and sets things that he can't put away on the counter, I've never seen anything like it! He does have his own little "touch" he likes to throw in there. I mean that literally, he can't quite reach the silverware drawer so he launches them up into it, usually with pretty good aim too, but of course he does not fail to "taste-test" each piece before he sends it flying, yes, you got it, he licks each piece of silverware! It is hysterical, so the trick to preventing this is to put his "plug" in while he "helps" put the dishes away! The amazing thing is, he actually does know where each of the dishes go! The baby latches on the cabinets are just a nuisance now, watch out Zach likes chores, everything, clean (sort of) and in it's place! Let me just tell you, I kid you not, when he makes a mess on the floor, he's the one running for the broom and dustpan! Do you ever get the feeling your baby understands more than you're giving him credit for? Is someone throwing food on the floor for a reason?
