Slave Labor

I decided it is about time for the kids to start pulling their weight a little bit more around the house. They do some very small things like emptying the dishwasher, taking care of their laundry, and cleaning their rooms every once and a while, but that is about it. When I was talking with a girl in my ward that has kids Walker and Carter's age and she told me that she has her kids clean their bathroom I decided my kids needed to start cleaning theirs. I did try to have them start this a few years ago and they were just too small to reach all of the places that needed to be scrubbed, so I took back over. They didn't whine too much when I told them they were going to do this. I let them choose two things to clean and then told them what to do and supervised. They were pretty proud of themselves when they were done, and were very happy to brag to dad when he got home that evening. We'll see how long this last, but I was very happy to have the help.Walker scrubbing the tub.
