Gideon Tales

 

Last Night Gideon came to me for help getting dressed. 
I said, "No, you can get yourself dressed. You are a big boy."
He said, "I am Batman!"
I replied, "Do you really think that Batman needs help getting dressed."
Gideon said, "I am Baby Batman!"

Tonight, Gideon wanted to help make dinner. I told him no because he was too little and could not do it. I said that he should at least be able to get himself dressed if he wants to be able to help make dinner. Gideon stood up on the counter and took off his underwear. I stopped that and told him that we all wanted those parts of his body covered up. Then Gideon got off the counter and said, "Mom, watch me. Mom, watch me." He then proceeded to take his clothes off and put them back on perfectly. He then said, "See, I am a big boy," so I let him help with dinner and with making cookies. 

We got a really good deal on a large area carpet ($25) to put in the main area of the living room because the floor is wearing out and I would like to extend the life of it. It happens to be a nice thick shag carpet and we have never had those. But the little kids are loving it. After Gideon had dumped out all of his toy kitchen toys and played with them, he wanted a clean and nice carpet again, so he informed me that the house was messy again and it was time to clean it up.
