Husband Material?

I am the luckiest person in the world to have married such a thoughtful, helpful, amazing man. Jake spoils Dax and me in so many ways and I could not be more grateful to be sharing my life, and parenthood, with him. I can only hope that we raise Dax to be just as incredible to his future wife. Recently, I have noticed some qualities that I think she will appreciate...

Dax enjoys cleaning up. He is great at putting his toys away and loves to throw things in the trash (sometimes we need to watch him closely so things we want don't end up there!). As his language develops he also tells us about it and will pick things up, show us, and say, "garbage!" before promptly throwing it away. It is so cute and even cuter because it usually comes out as, "bargage." I couldn't get him to say it in the first video so I added a second of him just talking because it's too cute not to share.

He is also great with money. Auntie Shannon gave him a piggy bank recently that has three sections: share, save, and spend. Very little of his change goes into the spend portion of the bank. I guess he takes after his daddy when it comes to money management ;)

Finally, Dax has recently transitioned to feeding himself. While not a great feat for a man, we are impressed with the skills of our little boy. Occasionally the spoon flips upside down on it's way to his mouth, but he is getting better and better all the time.
