Christmas Decorating

 While Dominic helped to string lights on the tree this weekend, Miles played with everything as it was unboxed. 

From "helper" to Helper

 Dominic offered to rake the leaves in the front yard while I cleaned out the gutters. In years past, Dominic's "help" might have entailed more work for me in the end, or at least it would not have actually let me off the hook for much. Today, it became clear that my little guy is really a big HELP. Afterwards we agreed that Miles' help is really just "help." But I am sure he will be helping for real soon enough.

Dominic plays with Miles in a pile of leaves after he finished his chores.

After a long day playing with friends, this smile is about all Dominic could muster.
