Lids

This last week I started watching Asher do some funny things, one of the things that caught my attention the most was how he would zoom into the living room pick up the grease lid then zoom through the house exactly to the spot where the empty grease jar was sitting. The funnies part is that i do not remember him going by it for a long time. I guess he just has good object recognition and remembers the 2 go together.

But what amazed me the most was that he could even screw the lid on nice and tight all by himself but his brothers do not like that and they want to be the ones screwing it on so they get upset with him. I guess when you have three they become territorial and Andy has finally won certain jobs from Samuel and now Asher is trying to take them away.

It is like while we were at the store after the meeting today and I asked if they could hand me Asher's shoe. Samuel was standing there but really was not looking for it. Well Andy had heard the question and saw the shoe so he ran over picked it up and said "Here you go Daddio." Well Samuel who is Daddio's big helper felt as if he just had his job taken away and first got angry and was going to rip it out of Andy's hands but I stopped him and said Andy could bring it too me. With those few short words his anger turned to sadness and he replied "But Daddio, it is my job to help you."

I am now just waiting for Samuel to start doing my job. I won't complain when he changes a diaper or fixes a bottle or prepares a turkey cracker bacon sandwich for them but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon.
