I've been reading about several moms who have been training their children to do various chores and how the children have complained when their siblings mess up all their hard work. Well, I finally have one of my own.
Ricky and Juliet have always thought that vacuuming was fun. So, lately, I've been training them to vacuum. Yes, Juliet can push our upright vacuum, that's a bit taller than her, around. I have Ricky do the rug under our dining table and Juliet does the living room. I know, it doesn't seem fair for Juliet to do a whole room and for Ricky to do a little area rug, but until they realize that, that's what they're assigned to.
So, last night, we had people over for dinner and of course crumbs got on the rug.
Juliet: Mommy, there's corn on the rug.
Me: Yes, I see it.
Juliet: Oh...Ricky just vacuumed it. She said this sounding kind of sorry for him.
Oh, if you only knew how those words were music to my ears.
