Big Helper

Jesse Bear is a big helper. He always loves to help clean up the toys, wipe up spills, throw away garbage, do the dishes, etc. Once when he had barely learned to walk I was out of the room when the timer went off on the oven. I was a little late getting in there and by the time I did, J.B had pulled out the hot pads in the drawer (one in each hand) and was reaching as hard as he could to pull open the oven door. Of course I overreacted because it really scared me, but afterward I thought about it and that was the sweetest thing - he was just trying to be a helper and get the food out of the oven for me.
