Tuesday Helper

Today was a one of Aaron's "stay home Dadda days" and I decided to ask him to help me out a bit. So after breakfast and some TV/play time, we went to the library for Learning Time. He picked out some great books including a couple about safari animals since we're on the Serengeti Trek in VBS at church this week. He even played with some puzzles and beads they have there for the kids. It gave me a chance to pick up a new book, Blow Back by Brad Thorr, they had on reserve for me.

When we got back, we read some of his new books, then for Creative Time he went with me over to the church to help me set up my room for VBS that night. My room was supposed to be a mess as if someone had ransacked a house. I knew he would be quite good at making a mess and get a big kick out of it. I was right.

He loved tipping over chairs and dropping books and papers all over the floor. The best part was, he knew he didn't have to clean it up! Then he helped me make Prayer Pals for all the kids, which included putting a washer and nut on a bolt.

My little helper and I then ate lunch and read more of his library books before Quiet Time and Play Time on the computer. He was big help and truly a "big boy" today.
