Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off to Work We Go

Working together builds character. Responsibilities, contributing to the household, lead to busy hands and happy hearts. Thus, my two year old son has a few chores around the house. It is fun when we work hard together, and it leaves us more time to play when the jobs are done!

One of Owen's jobs is to deliver the socks Mommy has folded to the appropriate rooms. It is fun to carry socks in a bucket! We sing a marching song while we put away the laundry: "Marching, marching to put away the socks!"

O loves to help unload and put away his "cuppies" and silverware. He know just where they all belong!


Dusting with Mommy is not quite as fun, even when Owie gets his very own dust cloth. But being the obedient boy he is, he still helps me cheerfully.

What a wonderful helper Owen is!! I am so proud of him!

Mallory has all the same "jobs." I guess it's just what works for two-year-olds. ;o)
We have a couple of sweeties.
