My Helper

Three is such a big age. Sure things are slow when you have 3 year old help but it's amazing that he can do so much. He helps make breakfast (cracking eggs), he helps put clean sheets on our bed (then jumps all over it) and he proudly hands me new yard waste bags (and goes in and on about the dirt-"yuck").

At three he can understand so much. Tonight he saw the Mr. Potatoe Head with the Darth Vader Helmut. He said "Look Mommy! Humpty Dumpty Darth Bader!" I said "Actually it's Darth Tater. It's a Mr. Potatoe Head Toy. People sometimes call Potatoes Taters and then It has a Darth Vader Helmut. Vader sounds like Tater so he's called Darth Tater."

"Ha ha Mommy. Darth Tater. Tater potater." 

He kindof gets it. He's a real person.
