Learning Good Habits

I think Aidie is spending too much time with his mother. Today, he repeatedly went through the motions of washing the clothes. Since he could walk, he has always played with the knobs and pushed the buttons on the washing machine. Today he was pretending to put the clothes in the machine, close the door, get the powder out of the cabinet in the little measuring cup and pour it into the drawer, turn the knobs, and press the start button, all with expert precision.

After he finished pretending with the clothes, he swept the floor. Not just moving the big broom around as usual. This time, he got out the little dustpan and brush to finish the job.

He is paying attention to dad as well. He has started saying "Amen" at the end of mealtime prayers. Today at lunch, he had started eating his food but immediately stopped when I started praying and said "Amen" at the end before picking up his spoon again.
