Jobs around the house

Aaron is learning to help out around the apartment. There are a few jobs that he does. It is his job to pick up all the dirty diapers around the apartment and throw them away. He loves doing this because we always cheer for him every time he throws a diaper away.
This week we taught him where the laundry goes so when there are clothes on the floor he can pick them up and put them in the laundry basket. We cheer for that too.
We are still working on picking up his toys but he has done it a few times when we make is another game of cheering.

Lately he has been getting into the broom closet and pulling out the broom and mop. That would be fine if he knew how to use them. He has also been playing with the vacuum and all of it's attatchments. Well today he found something else in the broom closet. I actually don't have a problem with him playing with this.



Our carpet shows every little speck of dust. We try to vacuum every day but that still isn't enough. My floor looks a lot better this morning since Aaron has been playing with the carpet sweeper. This can be his new job. :)

Way to put that boy to work. I have started letting Alex set the table (plastic only) but that is the extent of it.
