I have at least one little girl who won’t mind if ‘Do Dishes’ ends up on her chore list. Any time I tell Alethea, “It’s time to clean up the kitchen!” she eagerly responds, “I help!” Then she drags a chair over to the sink and begins splashing, scrubbing and making a huge soapy mess.
No, she doesn’t really get anything clean and yes, it would be easier to just do it myself, but seeing her so proud of her accomplishments is definitely worth a little hassle.
Maybe some day Lydia can help too and then I’ll quit doing dishes altogether, but for now, she’s content to sit in her carrier and watch the occasional soap bubble float by.
Scrub-a-dub-dub!
I remember those dish washing days with my sister that was three years older then me. She would wash and I would them and my mom put them in the cupboard. That was a good time to share our daily “how was your day stories”.
I would dry them
What a nice memory, Pearl. Thanks for sharing!
cute! and I LOVE her hair in piggy tails!
Ava will walk around the dining room table and ask if we’re all done. If we say yes, she grabs our plate and brings it to the kitchen sink. We’ve really taken advantage of having someone around that is so willing to clear the table!
How clever to get her interested in one of your least favorite chores! I hope her interest will last.
