We are boring. Sunday and Thursday are our laundry days. Samuel's usual assistance is to carry dirty clothes all over the house. He also places clothes in the empty laundry basket and pushes the basket throughout the ground floor(we have tiled floors).
Today I was doing laundry. I had taken the clothes out of the dryer and was in the process of moving clothes from the washer to the dryer when Samuel entered the laundry room and proceeded to place the papers he had been holding into the dryer. I asked him to take the papers out and he did. I then, for the first time, asked him to take the clothes out of the washer and put them in the dryer. Much to my surprise he started to do so. He did not get the clothes completely into the dryer but the effort was superb and he was laughing through the entire process.
It is amazing how much he is understanding what we say to him. He tries to help us put our shoes and socks on. He tries to put on his own shoes and socks but is not quite able to complete the process.
Last night(Sunday) we went out to dinner and were shocked to find that almost all of the local restaurants in Chatou and Le Vesinet(the nearest village) are closed on Sunday evenings. We ended up going to the Indian restaurant that we normally have delivered to our home. It was by far our cheapest meal out as it cost only 60 euros. The food is much better when it is hot and not just warm.
Samuel will be 18 months in only 4 days. Very, very hard to believe. He is such a little man.
