Happy Helper

Porter loves to help me. Sometimes he is not that helpful, and it usually takes five times as long to complete tasks when he is helping but I figure its teaching him good skills and in the long run I will be glad he can do these things. He likes to make food, pours all the things in for me and stirs. Last night he made his own scrambled eggs by himself ( I cracked them he just did all the cooking part). He likes to help do the laundry from putting it in the washer, then the dryer and even folding it. Its really cute to see him fold things, and he is such a perfectionist about it that he will refold the same towel multiple times before he deems it good enough. He wont fold shirts because he cant do it up to his self set standard and gets too frustrated and upset. So for now he sticks to towels and pants. He also likes to load and unload the dishwasher, wash the dishes by hand, and wipe the counters. He likes to vacuum and use the attached wand to get stuff. I make him get all the crumbs up from his messy eating. I am starting to think this is just making him spill more on purpose though... He also likes to sweep but I must say he mostly just spreads the dirt in the kitchen around more evenly. he will hold the dust pan for me but then I have to go back when he is not looking and finish up because we always miss most of the dirt when he is helping. His new found skill is moping. I never let him do it before because I worried he would fall down. He did fall down, but he seemed to think it was funny to "slip" and now tries to slip on purpose...
