So as parents, Paul and I try to teach Adele chores to help around the house. For example, when she is done eating, bring your plate and load it into the dishwasher. She still needs to work on that as her items are very creatively arranged in the dishwasher. I think my husband thinks I need lessons on this because he likes to rearrange things that I put in there too!
This picture is of Adele's bed that she made by herself for the very first time! Usually Paul and I (actually I mean I haha) help her with this task but as you can see our artist is at work!

I think it is so important to trust your kids early enough to do some chores on their own! It is amazing to see how much fulfillment Eli gets from just making his bed on his own. It may not be perfect...but that's not really the point!
According to TheFlyLady, anytime a kid learns to do something, it is perfect. Or not! It doesn't need to be perfect, because just doing it is a blessing for the family.
Check her out. If I still had kids at home, I would get the FlyLadyFairy for them.
She is so beautiful, and we so enjoyed seeing you guys at the reunion. We need to do it again!
It is October now, Adele, what are the chores you have added to your list?
