"I such a good helper!"

The other night Heather and I were playing Dr. Mario and Parker was supposed to be in Heather's room watching a movie. I heard him in the kitchen 'sweeping' and then I heard him say quietly, "I such a good helper." I couldn't stop laughing. Heather and I were dying! Then Heather's dog, Berkley, started chasing the broom around and growling and barking at it. Parker thought it was so funny he started laughing hysterically! The whole thing was really funny and I wish I had gotten it on video. In other news, I found a little big wheel-type bike for Parker at DI for $4! Luckily the weather cooperated and he was able to ride it a little on Sat when I brought it home. He loves it! He can't quite pedal it yet, but he scoots it around with his feet and he's just fine with that. He asks to ride it every day, and doesn't want to put it away when it's time to go in. We also moved his basketball hoop outside and he is loving that as well. He is actually pretty good at making baskets. I'm hoping the nice weather sticks around and we can play outside more. I also want to try taking him to the pool again this year. Last year it didn't go so well. He didn't like it very much, but I'm hoping since he is older this year, it might be more fun for him. We have several busy weekends in a row coming up with our ward camp out, family reunions etc. and are looking forward to spending time with family. Parker can't wait to see his cousins again! He asks all the time if we can go to Jackson and Addi's house. We'll be there next weekend! Parker is continuing to grow up way too fast for me. He is now building things all by himself with his blocks. He always wants us to help him build bridges, houses, airplanes etc. Well, he made this bridge all by himself the other day. He is becoming more independent every day. He still needs me for some things though, which is fine with me!
