Life with Levi
It’s laundry time!
By Amanda Olson
Editor

For some reason I still have yet to understand, my son is obsessed with laundry.

Clean laundry, dirty laundry… Okay, guess there really isn’t anything other than clean or dirty laundry.

His biggest problem at this point:  knowing the difference between the two.

He loves to help, and sometimes, he is actually helpful. He will pull clothes out of the dryer and hand them to me so I can fold them. Or he will grab dirty clothes off the floor and give them to me to be put in the washer.

But other times, his help is a bit detrimental to the whole process.

His favorite thing to do is put clean clothes back into the piles of dirty clothes. And vice versa. The other day I had a basket of clean, folded laundry sitting on the floor while I transferred clothes from the washer to the dryer.

Levi decided he would help by throwing four or five dirty items on top of the basket of clean stuff… Gee, thanks, Levi.

But as much as Levi loves to help with the laundry, he equally loves playing with the dryer.

He will push the little button that tells the dryer that the door is shut over and over… And over and over.

And he likes to shut the door. So much so that he will open the dryer while it is running, just so that he can shut the door again.

So helpful…

But the all-time best laundry story happened just the other day. Levi was leaning into the dryer to grab some of his clothes to hand to me, and as he went to stand up, he hit his head.

He stands up, rubs the back of his head, and runs across the room to where Lambie was laying on the floor “watching” us. So he grabs Lambie, and puts Lambie’s mouth to the back of his head, and says, “Whambie kiss it.”

Me, playing along, replies, “Aww, that was nice of Lambie. Did you thank Lambie?”

So Levi says, “Fank ew, Whambie. Dats a good Whambie.”

This little incident must have been so much fun that Levi kept repeating it over and over. Bonk, rub, run, kiss, “Fank ew, Whambie.”

Funny thing was he really didn’t even act like his head hurt… Guess Lambie kisses are just that good!
