Earliest Memory

Okay, I'm trying to remember the earliest, "funny" thing that Parker has done. And the story that comes to mind is: The Wet Kitchen...

My husband, Barry, was working an hour from home, at the time, and he often called home during his commute to catch up on the day. Parker was 2 yrs old and always wanting to "help" in the kitchen.

Well, on this particular day, he wanted to help with the dishes. So, I gladly put him on a chair at the sink. He splashed a little and fiddled around. And that's when my husband called.

Parker was being a little loud, so I decided to step into the next room to hear Barry better. We talked for maybe 15 minutes, and all the while I could hear that Parker was happy, talking to himself, singing, etc. What I didn't know was that he found the sprayer on the sink and decided to spray down the toaster, windows, curtains, dishes inside the cupboards, and anything else in the distance-range that caught his eye.

I used every single towel in the house to clean up the watery-mess! And once Barry was home he thought a pipe had burst in the kitchen....."No, honey, this was just Parker's idea of "helping" in the kitchen."
