"Tank ou, Ehan"

Taylor has gotten to be so chatty lately. I just love to hear her little voice and all the things she says. The other day Ethan handed her something and she said "Tank ou, E-han" (thank you Ethan). It just melts my heart. Ethan was always so verbal and had a great vocabulary at a young age. I assume I'm not alone but I definitely always wondered if it would be hard if Taylor wasn't the same way. But she has been just as verbal as Ethan so it's nice to know what her little mind is thinking. Of course she is very opinionated and strong-willed so we have some battles. She was saying "bite" very loudly today in church when the sacrament went by and let everyone know that she wanted some.

Ethan has some chores that he has to do and he isn't a big fan. He always asks if Taylor is big enough to do chores and we tell him that no he is on his own. Well today he was unloading the silverware in the dishwasher and Taylor LOVES to get into the dishes while Ethan is taking his time unloading them. So we decided to get Taylor to hand Ethan the silverware and he put it away. It was the cutest thing ever to see them working together. Of course Taylor was able to go from the drawer to the dishwasher and back before Ethan could put away one utensil. She was kind of showing him up but he loved having the help. I think Taylor is going to be my little helper. She is such a little mother some days. I just love the moments when they are getting along and helping each other. It is the sweetest thing and makes my day.

Very cute that they are doing chores together. I need to start giving Ellie a few little chores.
