His Favorite Things...

Whoa, it's been a while since I posted! Sorry 'bout that. Anyway, here's a new post that is just perfectly Theo for you. :-)
This past weekend, Sam and I took a trip to Seattle to visit my best friend. Theo stayed home with Chris, and they had a big weekend full of fun things. On Friday they took a city bus ride, a BART ride, and enjoyed a special dinner at McDonald's and a trip to the bookstore. On Saturday, they made fresh-squeezed orange juice, went to Theo's soccer game and then went to Genentech's huge family/charity event, Genentech Gives Back, where Theo got to see a rock concert (including Train, who he actually quite likes). On Sunday, they went to visit Grandma Kathy and Papa, and Theo got to go swimming and do lots of fun stuff with Grandma Kathy.
So, when I got back on Sunday and heard about all of this, I was surprised when he answered my question of "what was your favorite thing you did this weekend?" with: "Washed the dishes."And he really meant it! Apparently at some point, he had asked Chris if he could wash the dishes, and Chris happily set him up with a sponge, water, and some dishes. And evidently that was the highlight of his weekend.
I'm going to remind him of this when he's about 10 years old and whining about not wanting to do the dishes....
