Noah has become quite the little helper lately and I must say it's been really nice. Sometimes it's just SO much easier to do things myself than to patiently teach him how to be helpful. But lately I've found that just by giving him "small" little jobs that are still meaningful, he gets a huge thrill out of it and takes a lot of pride in his "work."
here are a few of his weekly chores:
setting the table for breakfast
setting out the chairs for our daily lunch-time "picnic"
helping with the dishes after dinner
unloading the groceries
pushing the laundry cart down the stairs
(just kidding, mom!)
changing the laundry
I'm seriously considering a chore chart... anyone had any success with something like that at this age? Why not train 'em young, right?
next job to assign: scrubbing the toilet!

Gotta love fresh direct :) I can't believe how big he is getting!
That's great that he's so helpful!
It's so interesting to me to see how you have your groceries delivered and do laundry downstairs. Such different living in NYC than the countryside, eh? I would love to trade circumstances for a week to see how you guys do everything. Wanna try California living? Hee, hee!
