BIG little Helper

Hayden is at such a fun age! He is right at my feet most days wanting to help with everything. He gets me new diapers for Brinley, and in the process pulls them all out and names all of the sesame street characters on them. He likes to take all of the dirty diapers to the garbage {he has done this for months}. He likes to help me unload the dishwasher. Sometimes he's a little too helpful, but his job is to help me unload the silverware. He takes them out and hands them to me and I put them in the drawer. He likes to pull all the laundry out of the dryer into a basket so I can fold it. He helps his Dad make smoothies. He drops everything into the blender one by one. And then he gets to have some in his monkey cup. He is obsessed with blankets. He calls them ties because lots of them are tied quilts and he likes to play with the ties so I started saying "here are your ties" when I put him in bed and it just stuck! Anyway if he sees one lying around the house he thinks Brinley needs it. It doesn't matter where she is or what she's doing he will go running to her yelling "TIES TIES" and put it on her, or by her. This usually wakes her up. When Brinley cries he says "Baby sad" "Baby sad." If her binky is within his reach he will take it to her and try to shove it into her mouth making her cry even harder. He's such a cutie and is just trying to help so I try not to let it upset me. We love our little helper!

Some other funny things Hayden does are:
Dance to any music anywhere, but ALWAYS in the car. He will say MAMA, DADA until we dance too.

We are Chipotle fans and when we pull into the parking lot where Chipotle is, whether we are going to target or any other store there he says "mmm, PO PO" The other morning he woke up and was hungry so he said, "EAT PO PO"

He loves to get into the fridge. Sometimes this is a disaster but most of the time he finds something he wants. His milk or cheese are usually his #1 choices.

It doesn't matter where we are or what we are doing he can spot ELMO anywhere! Most of the time if we are in the store and he shouts "ELMO" it takes me a minute to find anything Elmo near us.

He LOVES playing with Josh when Josh comes home. They run around the house chasing each other, play hide and go seek, read books, ride daddy the horse, get tickled, gobbled and anything else loud and crazy. One night after playing loud and rough for a while Josh said, "we've been pretty crazy we should probably settle down" and Hayden said "More kazies"

One night when Josh was going upstairs to study he was trying to get Hayden to come to me so I could give him a bath, but Hayden didn't want to leave Daddy so as Josh was trying to hand him to me Hayden said, "No MaMa, More DaDa." Good thing he's so cute!

We love ya little man!
