Sometimes I'm Amazed!

We get home tonight and B wants to play outside with his friends. OK - we say - if homework is done first. He finishes up some and out he goes. Jeff and I go out to the backyard to talk to the landscapers about what is needed next. (What is needed is some money!!) I give Jake some dinner and check on him every few minutes. When we're done talking outside, I go in the house to find that B has gotten Jake out of his high chair AND washed his (Jake's) hands! I couldn't believe it! He also washed his own hands and helped with dinner without being asked! I was amazed! It's times like these that I know he has it in him... I just wish I knew how to see it more often!
