James often acts as my butler in the morning.

James often acts as my butler in the morning. He watches me get ready and tries to predict the things I need and bring them to me, like deodorant or shaving cream.

Yesterday, he was waiting on Nate and turned the tap on for him as soon as Nate got off the toilet. Somewhat predictably, Nate was upset, "No, I don't need the water yet!" James turns off the water and proceeds to wait with his hands folded behind his back while Nate continues to dawdle. Nate, commenting to himself, "I don't need that step stool." James, thinks for a second and then runs over to remove the step stool from in front of the sink for Nate.
