Briton the Man of the House

Ray took the older boys skiing one day, so I told Briton that he was the Man of the House. He took this very seriously and rose to the challenge.

First, he headed out to get firewood to keep the house warm. But after a moment, he came running back and said, "You tum me." (you come with me) He didn't want to go all the way behind the garage and get wood by himself. Little man getting bigger. Slowly. *smile*



After he had filled the woodbox, he had to take the garbage out to the street for garbage day.

Luckily for him his dad had done most of the work before he took the boys out for the day, so Briton only had a small garbage can to drag out.


But it still turned out to be big enough to knock him off his feet.



He was a good helper that day. And then at the end of morning, at naptime, when he reverted to being a little boy, he decided he was a HOT DOG...
