Helping Hands

One of the boy’s developmental benchmarks this year was helping with household chores. Recently we noticed Trey Davey collecting dirty clothes and taking them to the hamper. We didn’t teach him this activity. He possibly picked it up from observing our movements and decided to emulate our behavior. Of all the things we do, how wonderful that he chose this task to copy. What helpful household chores might he copy next? He certainly watches us put his toys away five or six times a day. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he would put his own toys away? Is that really possible? I think this child aims to please.
