Have I mentioned before that Dan makes everything into a game? If he wants something done in a hurry he'll start to count: "5, 4, 3, 2, 1." By 4 the guys have caught on and whatever chore he is counting for starts to get done. I don't how the chore is more fun if it's a competition... but it is. Tonight the debate was over who was going to unload the dishwasher and who was going to load. Dan picked a couple stuffed rings out of Carter's toy box and gave each of the guys 7 tries to catch the ring while he threw over their head with their back turned. Whoever won got to choose if they loaded or unloaded. It's harder than it looks. Fred won.


Here is Carter this evening. He tries everything possible to keep up.
