Sweep the floor!
Actually Jansen is really great at trying to help me with the cleaning. I pray that it sticks through pre-teens at least!!! He especially likes to grab the deck broom and drag it around the house since he can't get to the house broom with the dust pan (his very favorite cleaning tool) when it's put up. The deck broom stands right by the back door so he can get to that one pretty easily. He also throws all the clean laundry out of the basket when I set it down to fold them and takes his clean clothes one piece at a time to his room and throws them over the gate onto his floor. I guess at least he gets it in his room!
I think I must know how "Polly" felt when "Suki" came behind her regarding the teapot! I have a modified version of their rhyme that goes through my head when we do laundry:
Mommy put the wet clothes in,
Mommy put the wet clothes in,
Mommy put the wet clothes in
It's laundry day - today.
Jansen takes the wet clothes out,
Jansen takes the wet clothes out,
Jansen takes the wet clothes out
He thinks it's time to - play!
