One of my many principles is that we have to involve kids in household chores. Not to participate in child labor, but to work together in a fun way, so that they feel like they are very much part of the family! It has really worked in our family and both kids (yes, even Benjamin, who is 16 months old) like to help around the house. Does this make things slower and more messy? Absolutely! So? Why the rush? I can't imagine a more depressing picture than a woman in worn-out clothes carrying grocery bags while her teenage son walks along in trendy clothes with only his cell phone in his hands. And I believe training starts now, when the kids are small! OK, enough of my principles for today. :) Here are some pictures.
Benjámin és a porszívó.
Benjamin and the vacuum cleaner.
Let's empty the dishwasher!
It's good to rest after "all that hard work". For instance we can play with our favorite laundry basket!
Or we can saw Benjamin's crib apart! :)
PS: Health wise, we have regressed again. First Benjamin ran a fever for a few days, now Oliver is down with a virus. Hopefully this will all be over one day!
