This morning, I discovered that they were both very eager to help me empty the dishwasher! Will, almost 3, has helped me in the past. But this was the first time they both helped together.
Will emptied the glasses one by one, carefully setting them on the counter under the cabinet they go in.
Andrew took utensils out one by one and chucked them into the silverware drawer.
Yes, I had to rearrange the silverware and put the glasses from the counter into the cabinet... But for the whole time I emptied dishes, it was quiet, they were happy, and each felt like they contributed something. And you know what? They did.
I didn't think an 18 month old could help... Makes me wonder what else they can do that would please them and help me!
Sort napkins from clean laundry?
Andrew set the table along with Will?
Teaching them to be part of the household helps all of us!
