Housekeeping!





A lot of you wonder what we do with all our free time having two two-year olds, and the answer is: cleaning. It is no picnic when your mom likes a clean house as much as L & M's mom does, but luckily, they have decided to pull their weight, starting with the dishwasher. What a pleasant surprise every morning to have two little helpers to unload the bottom shelf. L & M like to hand me one item at a time, and if they accidentally pick up two, they have to hand them individually. L & M also love to pick up their toys at night and sing the "clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere" song they learned at nursery. I'm so pleased I'm thinking of starting a rotating chore chart, and taking myself out of it. We knew having twins would come in handy, but didn't realize it would be so soon!

Now that is what I call a great idea. I do think that mom's should get to take themselves out of the cleaning chart, after all you did do all the work to bring them into the world, why not get a little help on the day to day stuff. Gwen also loves the dishwasher, however she just puts all the items on the open dishwasher door. maybe in a year I will have her trained too.Thanks for the great idea.

What a great idea! Train them early and they think it is playing. Good job, Les and Ry!
