Big Help: Mitchell's Nursery Adventure
Michael returns from a day of baseball - sweat, stories, and sunshine clinging to his skin. The baseball field was his kingdom, but now a new adventure awaits. A brand new nursery, waiting to be transformed into a haven for tiny humans.
Mitchell appears, his eyes bright with purpose. Not just a toddler. A helper. A creator of worlds.
Blocks become walls of possibility. Mitchell carefully places soft cushions, his tiny hands moving with a precision that would make a grown-up marvel. Each pillow, each toy becomes a piece of a puzzle only he can see. Michael watches, a mix of amusement and genuine appreciation dancing in his eyes.
The changing table? Mitchell’s next conquest. He hands Michael wipes, diapers, the tools of the toddler trade. Not just helping - participating. Creating. Being part of something bigger than himself.
Soft toys find their homes. Blankets are arranged with the care of an interior designer. Mitchell moves with a purpose, his Cookie Monster pampers a badge of honor, his pacifier bobbing with each determined movement.
Lessons learned:
Helping is a superpower
Every small action creates big magic
Love is found in the tiniest of gestures
Stay curious. Stay helpful. Stay Mitchell.
