Every time I tried picking them up, he would get "reinterested" and pull them back out. (Grrr!) So, I sat him on my lap and explained that it was time to clean up. To my amazement, he picked up every block I told him to and put it away, one by one! I think it's easy to under estimate what our children are capable of, I think they are good at acting helpless, also. :) Keep us updated on new chores you think of for your little ones. :) ***enjoying your blog***Christinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227104806337882062.post-63159148161520106442012-02-18T11:34:36.264-05:002012-02-18T11:34:36.264-05:00This post is so inspiring!

There is no shortage of blog posts on cute crafts and recipes on the internet, but how often do I see one about teaching children the value of work?

Remember to carry that over into the kitchen and cooking, not just setting and cleaning. It may be easier and cleaner to "do it myself", but they need to work through the challenges and see the joy in cooking, too. You've got an excellent start!!Phyllis Blickensderferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206757687699759551noreply@blogger.com
