Quietly Observing

My lovey little boy is quietly observing his parents more than we realized. I asked him to be a helper and throw the empty box of oreos in the garbage. He went into the kitchen and I followed so if it didn't actually make it in the trash I could pick up after him. He set the box on the floor and gingerly starts to step on, flattening it as mommy does before putting boxes in the garbage, and choosing the exact cupboard we keep the trash in.

A few hours later I caught him playing with a toy police car and mimicking the way his dad makes siren noises. So smart!
