Asa the Nanny

Who needs a nanny when you have Asa. He is very helpful with Judah. If Judah is crying and James or I am holding him, Asa will pick up a blanket or pacifier and bring it to us. He doesn't, however, do a very good job of bringing a blanket if we ask him. The other day he saw a dirty diaper on the floor and took it to the trash. Today while I was taking a shower and Asa was in the bathroom playing with toys, Judah started waking up in his cradle that is in our room. I heard Asa run off to check on him. He came back to the bathroom and checked on Judah another time while I was finishing up my shower. (How long until I can take a shower in peace?) He's just a helpful little boy.
But then I was drafting this post in my head while I was nursing Judah a few minutes ago. Asa was looking at books in my room. He shut the door and was unable to get out. After Judah was finished eating, we went to free Asa only to find that he had found the opened package of toilet paper. He had taken out several rolls and unrolled half of one roll. He was ripping up the toilet paper into tiny little pieces. It was cute, but mischievous. Just when I was thinking he was such a big helper, he goes and makes a big mess!
And a few minutes later Asa fell asleep on the couch next to me. He's back to being an angel again!
