A little two and a half year old boy who wants to do everything on his own, from wiping the table to feeding himself. He is also my Mr Helpful who gallantly drags the grocery bag towards himself (he can't lift it up because he is only at eye level to the cashier counter) and carries it for me while I pay for the groceries. And when I ask him to let me carry it, he will say, "No, thank you". Then we'll walk slowly back home. After transferring most of the stuff into my backpack before letting him carry the lighter ones, that is.
Today we went to the supermarket. As usual, he took charge of the shopping trolley. People took a second glance at a trolley which seemed to be moving on it's own. From the front view Jon was hidden behind the trolley, but his head would occasionally pop out from the sides to see where he was going. Although shopping with Jon takes a longer time, he is taking part in the weekly activities of household chores. (*Smiles*)
