Theo loves to help





















Theo has grown to be a such a responsible boy and great help at home! He initiates most activities without being asked!

I think it might have started this way. He started small and then his responsibilities grew...
At 1 yr old, Theo starts learning how to 'put back' his own toys after play in specific drawers. He also learns how to 'put back' his bath toys in the 'basket', his soiled clothes in the 'red pail', and always 'put back' whatever item he finished using.


1) he helps mummy switch on the electricity plug when its pumping time.
2) he helps to take the baby's milk bottle from the refrigerator and puts it in the warmer & switch it on!
3) He helps to put back his milk bottle into the tray.
4) He helps to get out mattress in the living room when mummy wants to put baby on the floor.
5) When he sees papa putting in the clothes and runs to help papa put his clothes on hanger & carries them to the wardrobe.
6) When its time for a meal, Theo asked for his plate/bowl and cutlery and set the table mat on his little table.
7) when he accidentally wets the floor with his water bottle, he runs to the kitchen and gets his own little multipurpose clothe and wipes the floor dry.
8) He knows that when we signal time for dinner, he will take the remote control and turn off the television.
9) He sometimes tell us its time to "make milk and sleep" and runs to get his bottle for us to make milk.
10) When its bath time, Theo takes off his own diapers and throws them into the bin.
11) When we make his bed, he will run to get his pillows and soft toys and put them aside, and later comes back to put them back!
12) Theo cooks. When we are making a steam egg dish, Theo will asked to stir it. (we think he really really wants to cook, but for obvious reason the only thing now that he can do is to stir, wish there're more opportunities for him to do more...)
13) Theo loves to take out the butter, peanut butter and jam and set the table mat. He will spread his bread.
14) ( We think Theo also really love housework! He is always following our helper around when she cleans the floor, wash the clothes) So Theo is given his multipurpose clothe for this reason. As you would've guess, yes, he cleans the floor, the door and whatever he can find too!

At sunday school, Theo was a great help to teachers as well.
Theo, Mummy is so proud of you. Theo usually beams in delight when we tell him "Theo, thank you, you're so helpful!"
