Funny Little Kid

Today, like most other days, Scotty got up before mommy and turned on the bedroom light and quietly opened the door but I woke up right in time to give a last ditch effort to keep him in the room by saying "Close that door, now!" But of course, he didn't listen and ran away.... Scotty is a pretty unique little kid! I must constantly keep watch over him because he's becoming very independent. But I do notice that most times if he's not near me he's either with someone else in the house. Yet, there are times when he will open the front door and decide to take a walk. Yikes!

On a good note, Scotty is very helpful, especially when it comes to unloading the dishwasher. I let him help me because it keeps him busy. He's very good at picking out all the sharp utensils first, like the steak knives, because he knows he's not supposed to touch them. He also likes to help mommy fold the clothes and he's almost got the hang of it--he starts to fold something but ends by rolling it up =). But I think his favorite thing to do to help me is by taking a wipey and dust everything from the floor, the walls, his foot, and then mommy's face.

I'm sure that by the end of the day, Scotty will suprise me with something new. He'll come up with something clever to say. IE, Grandpa was outside grilling and he told Scotty to go back into the house. Scotty's responded by saying, "Don't worry, be happy Grandpa". For a two year old I'm very suprised at his vocabulary and his ability to recall names, phrases, and words. So for fun, I'll probably post a quote of the day by Scotty just to get in a quick laugh.
