My little helper

I just have to take a moment to brag about my 5 yr old. He has absolutely fallen in love with....you'll never guess....emptying the dishwasher!! HALLELUJAH!! (sung in my best operatic voice). Just out of the blue one night he actually ASKED me if he could help. I gave him the job of emptying the silverware basket and now he has moved on to stacking the other dishes on the counter as the cabinets are too high for him. He has also recently enjoyed learning how to fold the laundry. After emptying the dishwasher this evening he actually came back a few minutes later and asked "Are there any more jobs we can do?" To which I gladly replied that the dryer would soon be done and he could help me fold his father's underwear. Do you know what my child did in response to that? Seriously? Are you ready for this? He pumped his fist in the air and shouted "YES!!" Alrighty then. From now on, I am never again folding another pair of male underwear.


Yeah...right...I know....just let me bask in this moment a little while longer, will ya?
