My boy loves to vacuum. I've also caught him in the act of cleaning up his spills (he prefers to drink from a regular cup all by himself). He opens the bottom drawer, pulls out a dishtowel and goes to town mopping up. All I have to say is...SCORE.
That said, I've become one of those moms. Without a doubt, ours has become one of those houses with stickers and crayon markings on the furniture and walls. I have to confess that on more than one occasion I've glanced over at his hijinks and sighed, "Well at least he's occupied and I know where he is for five minutes. I can always wipe that wall down later."
And then I breathe. Nice and slow.
stop making excuses. He's just cheaper than a hiring a cleaner! What ever happened to child labour laws!!
....'will work in exchange for crayoning on walls'!
