Step Stools, Jake's Helper!

My son's four step stools are his helper in finding food, brushing his teeth and washing his hand and also in reaching for the things he is not supposed to touch and put his hands on.

This morning when I woke up, I have found my son seating in the couch watching T.V. and eating crackers. T'was his breakfast with a glass of milk. Then, I went straightway to the kitchen and found two step stools. I didn't ask him because I figured out he used them in finding foods. He is really getting independent. My poor little man; he didn't want to bother me, so he went ahead and find something to eat. Well, crackers are not enough for breakfast, so I asked him if he is still hungry and he said "no". After half an hour, he asked for hot cereal, so I made him some and also gave him apple sauce and juice. Isn't step stools a big help or what?

What Kind of Kid Were You?

You Were an Inspired Kid

When you were a kid, you tended to see things from a unique, inventive perspective. In class, you were either asking lots of questions or getting lost in a daydream. You excelled at brainstorming. People were always amazed with what you came up with. You didn't do as well with structured activities. Giving you freedom was the only way to make you shine.

My Son is Sweet!

Matt is home today and when he is off from work, he takes and picks Jake at school bus stop. I do the waking and dressing up. When Jake gets back from school today, he just ran towards me, gave me a hug and kiss saying he missed and love me! Oh, how sweet my son is :-), and that's enough to take my tiredness away from doing shores and blogging, as well!

Done with the Bills!

At last, I am done paying bills *whew*. For some people who are not paying their bills themselves, they will think it is easy. But not for me at least. Aside from writing payments through checks, we still need to balance the checks; and that is the hard part. What a relieve for hubby not having to deal with it again. Yup, before I was thinking about why he kept complaining a lot about it. Now I know why :-)! It gives me headache, too!
