washing dishes

israel loves the dishwasher. whenever kara is loading or unloading, he rushes to her aid (literally, from anywhere in the house, he crawls to the kitchen as fast as possible). usually, he grabs on to the bottom draw and rattles it (to make noise). he even tries to chew on it ocassionally. i tried to tell him not to chew on it, but rhonda reminded me, "it's clean. it is the dishwasher afterall!" and, when it's running, he'll sometimes lean against it and fell the vibrations and place his ear against it, too.
