Earning His Keep

We're working hard on teaching Drew to earn his keep and pick up after himself. He's already "mastered" helping with the laundry - just loading and unloading the washer and dryer. He's also helping with emptying the dishwasher.

One thing that's a little slower in teaching him - how to pick up after himself. In the morning and evening, our kitchen floor is often covered in hot wheels... this is nothing compared to how it normally looks.


As I was trying to cook dinner, and asked Drew to clean up -- this is a very slow process. He picks up each individual car, spins the wheels and then puts it into the case.

So he was working on putting his cars away, and moments after this shot was taken, he dumped over all the cars he'd just put into the case. UGH boys!
