Daddy's job

This morning Jax was outside playing on the deck and he came in and asked if he could have a rake, I asked him why he wanted a rake and he said "because I want to rake up all of dese leaves and put dem into a pile" I got him the rake and he went to work. He came in a few minutes later and said "Mom, did you know dat I am doing Daddy's job? Mom, he shoulda done dis job a long time ago, so now im gonna do it for him and when he gets home from work tonight im gonna tell him dat I did HIS job!" I about died laughing at the expression on his face, he was dead serious when he was telling me that his daddy should have done this job already (I have no idea where he would have gotten this from, im pretty sure that I didn't already tell Nick that he should have done this) after Jax informed me that he was doing his Daddy's job, he went back outside and got to work, and I must say that he did a very good job! He even had to have on his "work jacket."
What a good little helper!

I remember when we were little and would rake the leaves up into piles and then jump on them. And sometimes we would make two piles and pretend they were our beds. Am I the only one who remembers that?
