Mr. Responsible

Alec has been going through a fussy phase lately, but I've found that added chores & responsibility both distract & please him (he loves earning things). So, after his 'morning routine' (get dressed, make his bed, say his prayer), I expect him to put a bib on James & get breakfast for him. We've also added picking up dog poop as his latest chore. James helps by pointing out the poops for Alec, then they water the plants for me. Score!

He's even taken to cracking open pistachio nuts for his little brother (their current favorite snack).
