Without Asking

Today we're expecting some dear old friends for dinner, and so I was kind of tidying up the house as dinner was cooking. I was in Haddon's room putting toys away, and I hear: CLUNK! CLUNK! CLUNK!

What was that?

I looked into Norah's room across the hall, and there he was. My little man was picking up the toys in his sister's room. With each drop of a toy was a CLUNK.

I didn't ask him to do it. He just did. Without any asking or commanding.

It was very cute. And he proceeded to finish the job. Mom didn't even have to bother with that room. He did great!
