My Big Helper

 Today, D and I vacuumed (or swept as we always said growing up) the floors and the couch. I am such a firm believer in teaching them young! When ever I vacuum I usually let him help me hold the handle while we push "forward and backward." Today I let him do some of  it on his own! He was thrilled! This is definitely the time to start teaching your kids how to care for their home- when they still want to be just like mommy and daddy and are excited about it! He was actually sad when it was time to put the vacuum away.


Am I the only one who does this?


Then I pulled out the bucket and taught him how to wash the floors.
dip. squeeze. scrub.

He especially like the squeezing part. He didn't quite get that your supposed to squeeze the excess water in the bucket but that made for more fun when it was time to scrub!
