Helping

I had a pile of clean kitchen towels on the table but needed to get dinner going on the stove so I asked Henry to please fold the towels for me. I had no idea what to expect but I knew it would keep him busy and I know it's better to ask them to help and give them a chance to work through it on their own rather than micromanage their effort.  To that end, I walked away to make dinner after he sat down and a little while later he says "Okay, Mama, I'm done!" I turned around to see this!  Three neat piles of well folded towels.  Way to go, buddy!!

He made his bed this morning without being asked, too. He's on a roll!
