I have TWO garbage men..

A funny thing about Derek is that he ALWAYS takes out the trash. I mean always, without my asking, nagging or even hinting. I have a bad habit of taking the bag out of the pail and then leaving it on the floor to take out later (like when I go get the mail, or leave to go somewhere) and I always am surprized to see the Derek beat me to the punch. I swear I don't leave it there for him to do it, I hope he doesn't think that I do. It is just something he does autmatically that I think is funny. I am lucky I guess.

So... on that same subject, yesterday we were cooking in the kitchen and all of a sudden Easton just started taking the garbage out of the pail and Derek and I just looked at each other and said something to effect of "Is this for real? Did you teach him to do that?" Well, he did it. He even put in a new liner. It was awsome. So I told him that could be his new job. Then again today I forgot and I was in the process of taking it our and he jumped up from the table and said "Mom, this is my job, let me do it!" Ok! OK! Sheesh! I am just wondering how long I can get this to last. I think it is so funny! I guess I just wasn't aware of how fun it is to take out the trash!

It makes me realize how much Easton watches my daily actions and is learning so much around him just by watching me and Derek. It is a little scary, but also really awsome when he rewards me with a something good.

While I sat on my couch to write this blog entry I set a garbage bag near the front door to take out on my way to the store in a minute. Guess who just came and took it outside? Yep, funny.
