The monkey on my back

This post is about DS, LOL

He's a little monkey.

Twice today, I wore him on my back to get things done.

This morning after we dropped DD off at school, I needed to clean up the kitchen.  DS wanted to be held.  While I would have preferred to just veg out on the couch, I know I have to be a responsible adult every once in a while.  So, I put him in the Beco and placed him on my back so I could wash the dishes.  He gets very excited when he rides on my back.  He was very quiet after a while and I forgot I was wearing him, I was backing up and I backed into the fridge which made him cry a little.  But he overcame it.  After the dishes were done, I sat on the couch and nursed him until he fell asleep.  He slept until it was time to get DD from school.

After lunch, he was having fun playing with a ball.  He was bouncing it and chasing it.  He even tried to put it in the tall laundry hamper.  I think I know what he's going to get for Christmas, LOL.

The kids were napping, so I decided to prep for dinner.  As I was nearly finished cooking part of the dinner, I could hear DS making noise.  I went and grabbed him.  He wanted to be held, but I needed to clean up, so I put him again on my back.

I like to clean up as I work, unlike DH who makes big messes while he cooks.  And I could be like him, but I know that I would have to clean up later.  I also know how he is with cleaning, if he does not see it in front of him, it does not get washed.  Also, once he's met his quota (whatever that may be) he's done.
