I've told you before how he loves that job. I think it's the level of responsibility that makes it feel much more like a special privilege.jsweeNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17160568082715951366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-26652073362595542442011-01-20T19:21:30.313-08:002011-01-20T19:21:30.313-08:00It sounds like a good time to start him helping yo...It sounds like a good time to start him helping you, but just not get too scheduled or at all formal until you're back home.RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-3571718037566374282011-01-20T13:58:32.799-08:002011-01-20T13:58:32.799-08:00He's a big helper, fortunately.

Or....(this is easier on me) I can wait until after the remodel when things are a little calmer and we are settled. We'll all have to establish new routines for common things with the house being so different. We can work something in then.

They were might right-hand-helpers when younger ones came along. You can see what our CuddleBunny has at age 6. (He clears the table, but still doesn't wash it.) He can also help with the dishwasher, folding towels, and delivering folded clean clothes to the proper rooms. Those are things off the top of my head that seem appropriate for 5. Just try to get him involved in any task you're doing and see what he seems to be able to handle...or notice what he's interested in learning.RHome410https://www.blogger.com/profile/06622522477498428322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3128682648587654542.post-64211433441322233552011-01-13T23:40:18.380-08:002011-01-13T23:40:18.380-08:00You're going to deny it again, but you look so...You're going to deny it again, but you look so organized! ;) At what age do you start young ones on chores? I was thinking that my own little 5-year old cuddle bunny should start helping out besides the clearing of his meal dishes and picking up his toys.
