Leo's Chores

Yes, my son has chores. At night he has always been expected to help clean up. Sometimes, it's only like 3 cars that get put in the basket, other times it's a lot more. More recently however, I decided he was old enough to be assigned his first real chores. He is very much the helper right now and wants to do everything, so I figured now was as good a time as ever. It's not much, he just has to "set" the table for dinner. He brings the place mats to the table and lays out napkins.
OK, so it doesn't look very good, and yes, I go back and do it behind him, but you know what? He is sooooooooooooo proud of himself and that is good enough for me.

Heck Yeah! That's a great idea and you are doing wonders for his "I CAN" skills! I just love this post I can't even tell you. If he ever comes over to my house....he's in charge of the table! GOOD JOB!

How cute!!! I think it's great that you do that :) I can never clean up toys in Jonathan's presence--he just HAS to play with whatever I'm trying to put away :/
