A delightful aspect of toddlerdom is the willing nature to help with chores. Finn delights in helping to set the table and then also patiently waits until we are done and helps clear it up again. He even thoughtfully put Poppie's seat on the bench so 'she could sit 'der. And mama, you sit 'der and Daddy can sit 'der and I sit 'der next to Daddy.' Yay! I did it! he exclaims.
My wise mother advised us to always encourage this 'helping', even when the helping makes more work for us. Take advantage of it now, she said, because 5 years down the road, chores will already be a natural part of the family routine and won't be a big fight. Wise words indeed.
