Kids that is... and the things that they do...
Last night both Eli and I were sick with the cold, but I was cooking dinner like usual and waiting for dad to come home. Near the end of my cooking, Eli came over from where he was watching a video and said "Momma is cooking"... then he proceeded without any prompting from me to take out a fork and spoon for myself and his dad, then one of his spoons for himself, all placed on the dinning table according to our normal seats.
The strange thing is that we don't have a normal routine of setting the table, in fact the table was still dirty from his afternoon snack and it was on my to do list before setting dinner out. I often sit down to dinner, then get up in dismay because I'd forgotten the utencils... so this act of service was very strange, funny and just plain amazing... maybe someone else has taught my boy such good manners and if so, THANK YOU to whoever it may be...
