Helping Mommy

When I was pregnant with my first child I read all the books, took all the classes...and now over 2 years later I can't believe that no one ever said really loudly this one simple thing: CHILDREN LEARN BY IMITATION
I know you are thinking...well i knew that, and so did I to an extent. BUT I never fully utilized it. It is one thing to know something and something completely different to make it part of your everyday life.

I have taken to letting my kids 14 mos and 31 mos help me with almost everything. They help cook, clean, do laundry and anything else I might do on a daily basis. You are probably thinking I am completely BONKERS...and I did too at first. I mean sure things take way longer now, but the kids are SO HAPPY. It makes the house calm and peaceful and I never have to feel guilty about plopping my kids in front of the TV so I can get something done.
