If Only We'd Give Them The Tools...

For the last year or so I've had tools (broom, dust cloth, towel) hanging where the Little Guy can reach them. On our last trip to Ikea he picked up this dust pan and brush. He even put it to use as we walked to the check-out.

Last week my huibiscus plant had a little accident and the Little Guy beat me to cleaning up the dirt!

It was a great reminder that kids want to be involved in all aspects of life. Often they understand and can do more than we give them credit for.
