Dynamic Duo

The witching hour. It's a term used to describe that time of day when a baby is regularly cranky. For my 1 year old, that time is usually after his afternoon nap and before dinner....just before I get home.

Every once in a while, I'm met at the door by my boys, both with frowns on their faces. On those days, Mike is more than ready for the parental pass off. Often though, Mike's able to find an activity that makes Dylan forget his crankiness and occupies him until we sit down to eat. Today, I came home to a happy dynamic duo.....the dynamic cleaning duo!

Dylan, for some reason, really loves the vacuum. He'll hang out with Mike and smile while the vacuum is running. In the last week, he's also become really interested in pushing things around other than his walking toys - bar stools (at home), a kiddy slide and some foot stools (these last two at his play group that he and Mike started going to last week). Today, Dylan combined his love for vacuuming and pushing things around. Together, Mike and Dylan made a fantastic vacuuming team.


Isn't it great that he's already learning to "earn his keep?!" (Dylan, that is...Mike earns his keep and then some every day!)
