I was emptying the trash on trash day, and Elijah was helping me carry the bathroom cans and empty them into the big bag. After we emptied the downstairs bathroom trash he wanted to carry the can. So I asked him to bring the can back to the bathroom. He toddled off, went in to the bathroom, and I heard a little clink (like he was setting it down), then he came back out. I congratulated him profusely and went about other things.
When I went to actually use the bathroom a bit later I discovered that, just as I had asked, Elijah had indeed brought the trash can back in to the bathroom. Only problem is that he had put it in the toilet instead of back on the floor! Guess I'll have to be a bit more clear on my directions in the future. On the brighter side, that trash can is cleaner than it's ever been now that I've scrubbed it down! :)
You didn't say where in the bathroom to put it, Mom!
