Big brother lends a hand

Alexander has been very helpful these past few days. He will dress himself, help with the cooking and often wants to help with baby.

I am getting some good quality time with my son on this sabatical and that feels really good, even when he isn't. :-)

I take him to and from school every day, and after school we often go for a slice of pizza and a chocolate chip cookie.

It is also really interesting to watch how he interacts with the other kids on the playground. He does well at negotiating and stating his viewpoint. He can also sink baskets in the basket ballhoops and likes to practice long after school and long after I want to leave.
