"Helping"

Louie's second favorite word these days seems to be "help." (His first favorite is "no", but that's another story.) He wants to do whatever we are doing, especially if it is dangerous or requires any amount of precision.  Nick has been working hard to finish putting up the molding in our living room, and gets a good amount of it done while our little monster is taking a nap.  Sometimes, though, there's just a little left to do by the time he wakes up.

"Why is it so hard to climb this stool?  There's no room for my feet!"

"Hi Dada!"

"Be careful with the hammer, dada, and don't worry about falling.  I'm right here to save you."

Oh toddlers.
