A Little Helper

For the last half of my pregnancy with the babies, I was either in the hospital or on strict bed rest.
This meant that getting the house ready to have triplets fell into Jeff's lap.

But don't worry, he had help,
Plenty of help.

Some of the help was actually helpful

And some, not so much.

(These pictures are just about 2 years old, making Hayden 2 1/2.)




Go see who else is Wordful on this Wednesday.
This is post is a blast from the past, I am joining in at Twinfatuation
for Way Back When-esday too.

That just cracked me up when I got to the last picture! :)

Unknown said...

wow! He's getting some good air jumping! haha! Loved the pics of him helping...I have some of my two trying to help daddy build in the basement. :-)

cat said...

Oh that is cute - that last picture is so 2 and a half years, it is not even funny! Why not also submit this at Cheryl's for Way back Wednesday?

Heather said...

Aww, Hayden reminds me so much of Gabe. Must be the age, wanting to be a helper, but not being to help just being a boy...

Probably hard to believe it's been two years, huh?

Kat said...

So full of energy!

Joy said...

Well atleast he is a cutie and that makes up for the lack of help.

Julie said...

Aw how sweet that he helped!

Otter Thomas said...

Daddy's little helper. I am ready for that too. Of course I don't need any help to screw things up but at least I will have an accomplice.

Michelle said...

Love that mid-jump shot!

Kelly Deneen Raymond said...

He was totally helpful!! He was ensuring the safety of the crib!! :)

Kathy B! said...

You mean that's not what the crib is for?! I think my kids jumped more than they slept in theirs. Or at least it felt that way at the time!

Trina said...

Very cute. That reminds me of my brother who used to take everything apart. Once he unscrewed the legs to the kitchen table. I'm sure you can imagine what happened.

Jenny and the Princess Peonies said...

I just love toddler help! Last Friday I was trying to clean the bathroom. That 20 minute job took me 2 hours...at least they are cute!

Allison said...

Sugar Boogers & Tantrums said...

I know it's hard getting ready for the arrival of newborn even without being on bedrest. I found you on Twinfatuation and have seen you around. Hope to get to know you better. Would love to share my blog with you.:-)

CaraBee said...

Such a cutie! We are just starting to get into the helper days. About a third of the time I ask her for something, she'll do it. The rest of the time, it's like I was speaking Chinese.

CC said...

That's awesome. I'm sure he was NEVER in the way or anything. ;)

Cheryl Lage said...

Oh Jen, that is TOO funny! What an adventurous little doll.

Happy Way Back When-esday, and thank you for playing along!

(and I think I will be checking in for the Twitter tips, too!)

He looks like a pretty good helper to me (and cute too!) : )
