Yesterday afternoon I went to take out the recycling to the big can. Ike grabbed the little can out of my hand and said:

"Let me do it Mama, this is a Man's job."

Who am I to argue?

He was very helpful yesterday. Not only did he take out the recycling, when I went to go clean the master bath. He said, he could do it. So I let him. And he did a very good job for someone who's never cleaned the bathroom by himself before.

My little boy is growing up!
