Becky derives a great deal of enjoyment out of cleaning up. She loves to put away her books and toys and place her water bottle back on her high chair tray and stuff clothes into a hamper and do all sorts of tidying up. Now she has expanded her domestic repertoire to include trash duty as well. Whenever she sees a forlorn piece of paper or page of a magazine lying around (thanks to her sister, who loves nothing more than the satisfaction of tearing paper out of its rightful place), she crumples it in her hand, declares a disgusted “Uck!â€, briefly waves it in my direction for my approval, and then hurries off to deposit it into the bathroom trashcan. I end up emptying the can every day or so, because she generates such a volume of waste. Here is today’s garbage collection:
I am thankful that she loves to help out with chores, and I look forward to the day when she can also do her own laundry. I only wish that day was today, since she picked our master bedroom duvet to puke upon this evening. I don’t know yet whether this was a one-time event, or whether we’re battling a new virus in the house. Please pray that our little trash collector is back to her tricks soon!
Hummm, who does it sound like to likes to clean and tidy up, especially before the end of the day? Oh yes, It’s Becky’s Mom!!!
I remember jokingly asking if you’d like to sleep in the kitchen just so it would get cleaned up before you went to bed. Sounds like what Susie messes, Becky cleans. Hope it always works out that easily for you all.
Love,
Mom/Grammie
I do like the fact that she was reading about improving our enviroment! 🙂 Maybe a couple of recycle bins will be in her future???? 🙂
