I am still navigating around having Ken living here with us. While the purpose of his being with us for the next few months is to relieve me of my 24/7 and to provide Gregory with more activity, I still have trouble ASKING for help. So at dinner I asked, "Can you and Gregory go swimming tomorrow?" Sure enough, they are both looking forward to doing so.
Tonight after dinner I announced, "It's only fair ... since I made dinner ... that Ken and Gregory should ..." And they both chimed in, "Wash the dishes." We laughed.
I left the room, did some writing at my computer desk, and enjoyed every moment of overhearing them discuss the process of washing, drying, and putting away the dishes.
The camaraderie between Gregory and Ken is beautiful to watch. And I enjoy having someone to talk to. I only hope I'm not talking his ear off!
