Big Helper

Big Helper Victor is four and half years old but he was always eager to help out on chores. So far Yang and I are not encouraging him too much. This afternoon I went to our backyard to pick some board beans. I wanted to cook some board beans as a dish for dinner. Victor was watching TV. But he went out and told me that he wanted to him. "Sure. Can you help me to take the beans out of the pods?" I asked. For the next twenty minutes, Victor squirted in the backyard and opened the pods and picked out the beans. For the first time in his life, he is helping me in a substantial way and actually completed the task. I was so proud of him. I could see him growing up to be a big helper in our family.
