My thoughtful little helper

Jonas has become quite the asset here at home. Some of the helpful things he can now do.

He brings me the TV remote control. He throws it to me while I'm showering.

He helps me with the laundry by unfolding and throwing the folded clothes.

He helps me in the kitchen, by emptying the bottom two kitchen drawers onto the floor. He also loves to clean out the fridge by throwing items from the shelves to the floor.

He organizes clutter by moving things from room to room. I never thought about keeping maracas in the kitchen cabinet!

He helps me work out and burn calories by chasing him as he tries to climb the stairs. The panic that I feel when I find him halfway up is great for reaching my target heart rate.

I find myself thinking, "How did I ever manage without him?"
