Ash and Natty are growing so fast, and while I'll always miss them as little babes all chubby and cute, I certainly can appreciate the independence that comes with being 4 and nearly 6. Recently I added new chores to their list: emptying the dishwasher. Most of the items are just stacked on the counter for me to actually put away (the cupboards and drawers they can reach they are responsible for putting away), so it actually makes more work for me as I sort through their chaos, but I'll take it.
Nothing like free child labor.
Sure things like bowls are stacked incorrectly and forks and spoons are put away upside down and backwards, which also makes this a good lesson for me in letting go of control.
Everybody's a winner.
