There's a lot to say about kids learning to help around the house with chores and such. Growing up, I had chores (although my older siblings may disagree with me that I actually had to do them!) and I turned out pretty good.
So, Michael and I decided why not start early with Lily? She's only two, doesn't speak our language yet, but certainly there are things she can do to help out around here. Note: no child labor laws were broken during these times! :)
Sweeping our driveway
Cleaning off the table...again!
Having her pull her own wagon during our walk instead of riding in it
Cleaning off her table while outside
Sometimes while you are cleaning, you just have to give hugs to Gracie
We hope this cleaning is a sign of how she'll keep her room when she's a teenager. We can only wish!
Some people put their dish towels in the laundry when they finish cleaning, and some like to wear it on their head! At least Lily doesn't have to follow the crowd and is up for being her ownself!
