So lately Nate has gotten into this kick with me - and refuses to clean his room. He says he would prefer to watch me clean! Soon I won't be able to get down on the floor or if I do, I may have trouble getting back up!!! :) So yesterday he was home with me. I started out doing the dishes and a load of laundry. He saw I was dropping water on the floor - which is what happens when you have a dishwasher BEHIND the sink! So he asked if he could mop the floor! I said sure! Then I changed the sheets on my bed. He helped me take the pillows off. Proceeded to lay on them until it was time to put them back up again. We headed into his room and he helped me clean up his toys and made his bed! He was so proud. He kept commenting as we put more toys away that it's getting cleaner mom! Funny how that happens - huh???!!!???!!!
So we had to run out to go to the doctors to drop off paperwork. We decided to stop at Staples to get supplies for a Chore chart. I don't think he *quite* gets it but he is understanding that if he does all his chores, he will be able to get a squishy dinosaur next time we're at the Russian River. :)
This morning as we were getting him ready to go to Nana's house for the day, I asked him what toy he wanted to bring. He said his Chores!! LOL He was funny though because in the hallway was his Star Wars Gun and of course the beds weren't made yet. He starts waving his hands saying "Mom - what happened to our house?? It's not clean like we like it!!" That kid!!!
