Cooking potatoes

The last post was about cute things the kids say/do.  This one is about something the kids have to learn.  Tommi is my little helper.  He is constantly saying, "I help.  I do."  I have realized that there is never really a good time for him to help, and I have really changed my perspective to focus on teaching rather than focus on getting a job done faster.  So, as I was preparing potatoes to bake them in the oven, he of course wanted to help.  I took the time to show him how to wrap it and poke it.  He took it and was practicing.  I took my eye off him.  When I looked at him again, he was poking Baby Chloe.  I put him in his crib for time out.  Chloe was screaming.  She ended up with marks on her neck where he had poked her.  He needs 100% supervision.  I can't turn my head any more.

Jacki and Wes have kid tablets.  There is a game about brushing your teeth.  Jacki said that she turned the music on as she was brushing her teeth.  I thought that was cute.  Tommi likes to imitate the other two, and he was playing with Jackie's tablet while she was at school.  Wes took it upon himself to take Jackie's tablet away from Tommi.  Tommi bit him on the back.  Wes cried a lot.  He went to preschool and came back happy.  He loves Miss Helen's preschool.
