Helper

Luke LOVES to help. He almost always wants to help with whatever chores we are doing around the house - putting laundry into the washing machine or dryer, setting the table, vacuuming, sweeping... you get the picture - Luke wants to be involved in the process. Last week we created a 'chore chart' for him. We listed things he can do to help around the house and earn a coin for his bank. Easy stuff like make his bed and pick up his playroom. He was so excited to help and get a coin for his bank that his chores were completed quickly and then several times over that afternoon! We love this characteristic. We're praying that it lasts through adolescence. (praying, not holding our breath) :) 

Helping Daddy mow the lawn

After they mowed the lawn the DeBoer boys came inside, drank lemonade, watched the Yankees and congratulated each other on being such hard workers. Ah, I love my boys.
