Mommy's Helper

Parker loves to put the wet clothes from the washer into the dryer. He usually stands at the dryer door and I hand them to him. I handed him a wet garment without looking and heard it hit the floor. I looked down and he was gone. I looked all around me thinking he had slipped out or was playing behind me. Then I saw a hand reach out and grab the wet sweatshirt and pull it in the dryer. I love this kid.Parker also likes "being in on the action." He gets frustrated if he can't see what's going on. Tonight I let him "help" me wash dishes. Couldn't help but smile as soap and water were flying all around the kitchen.

After we finished up the dishes, the clothes were dry. So we pulled them out and put them in a basket to fold. While I was putting the next load in the washer, Parker made sure no one stole the clean clothes. I know that soon it will no longer be "cool" to help Mommy. So, I'm treasuring these moments!



UPDATE ON PAPAW: We got positive results from the latest round of blood work. The hormone treatments have significantly lowered his PSA level, which is what grows the cancer. While we know that this only buys us more time and isn't a cure, we are thankful and give God the Glory. He is in great spirits and in no pain. We are so thankful for that! We are also thankful for all the encouraging words, cards, and most of all your prayers.
