Train them Early!

I've said it a million times, it's never too early to get the kids helping around the house. When my family was in town for Labor day they were amazed that Cameron was so helpful around the house. When asked he clears the table (to prepare for dinner), he puts the dishes in the sink after dinner, he closes the blinds for us, he cleans up the floor when he spills something and he even takes his socks and shoes off - stuffing his socks in his shoes and then putting them on the shelf. I LOVE it! And he loves to help! The problem with this help is I believe Cameron thinks he is older and stronger than he really is. He doesn't understand that he can't do everything Mommy and Daddy does! Today after he used his new "scissors" to cut up paper he insisted on vacuuming up the paper himself! Boy, boy, boy!
