Animal Fascination

Like many kiddos, Oliver loves to watch animals, and he is surprisingly gentle with them.  So gentle, that they tend not to run from him, but will approach him.  Still, he is not always sure what he thinks as they approach...
Helping feed our friends' chickens.


Saying hello to sweet "Quincy." He said "kitty-cat" for the first time here!

Such a big help!

Oliver has become quite the helper lately.  He loves to load and unload the washing machine.  Sometimes, while loading, he even adds his cars, toys, sticks, etc. to be washed so I have to check thoroughly before I hit "start."  To unload, he hands me one item at a time and I fold it, then wait for the next item.  I haven't caught this on film yet, but it is etched in my mind for now!

He also loves to brush his own teeth, twisting his toothbrush back and forth over his teeth and bare gums.  He does such a thorough job and he loves to do it.  Brushing his teeth seems to be the highlight of his evening oftentimes! (apart from Da-da's arrival home)
