Daddy's little helper!

Since Jeff was home for the summer he got to spend a lot of time with Johnathan and Johnathan LOVED every second of it. Whatever Daddy was doing, Johnathan wanted to do. Because we moved there was lots of "handy man" work to be done and as soon as Jeff got out his tools, Johnathan wanted in on the action.

We bought a new TV stand and it required some assembly, Johnathan was ready to open the box and get it all set-up!

"Come on Dad, we can do it!"

I had so much fun watching the two of them together. Jeff was patient with Johnathan and let him help as much as a one year old could help.

"Okay, Johnathan, find me piece 3-A"

I can just imagine the fun things they will make and build together!

This is controlled chaos . . . it's all part of the plan more or less (as quoted from Agent Oso, which is actually my least favorite morning cartoon)

My sweet little boy, completely entranced by a cardboard box and trying to get inside to see what it holds . . . he could have sat there forever . . .

Back to work, let's get this rug rolled out . . . .

Come on, who's with me? Can I get a hand?

A few days later, he went right back to the task at hand . . . eventually the rug did get rolled out to Johnathan's delight!

Helping Grandma put away the pots and pans . . . and by help I mean bang on the pots and pans and try to remove them as soon as they were placed in the cabinet!

Uncle Kurt helped out too, we called everyone!

I am so very thankful for Jeff's brothers, without whom we would have definitely not been able to move so smoothly. They are a very funny "team" . . . instructions? they don't need 'em - they do things their way and it usually turns out well, until you hear the words "bring towels, lots of them and a bucket, don't worry we will fix it!"

Fix it they did! Thank you Matt and Andy!!!!

Johnathan loved all the excitement of moving and being in a new place! He was so happy to have a new home to explore and he still loves to help his Daddy all the time!
