This weekend we got the Christmas decorations out of the attic, which requires moving Sam's changing table. On Saturday Sam watched us move the furniture, open the attic, go up and down the ladder, close the attic and push the furniture back. In his little world it only takes doing something one way once before that is the way it is always to be done. So on Saturday when we put the boxes back he was already a pro. After closing up the attic Chris and I left the room. Sam ran after us motioning us to come back. He ran to the far side of the changing table, sat on the floor and started pushing against it with all his might. Daddy and I only had to help him a little bit to get it back into place.
While outside over the weekend Chris grabbed his rake to tidy up a pile of leaves. When Sam saw Daddy start to mess with the leaves he took off in a sprint. He came back from the shed carrying his prized plastic rake and shovel and started helping. Precious!
I think we need to try to capitalize on his willingness to help...can I give an 18-month-old chores?

Absolutely! It's never too early to start them on some light laundry, dusting or shoe polishing (might fit in with his other interests?) ... He's beyond cute! xxx
