Helping Hand

I know it's not our great parenting, but I love how much Zoe wants to help us in whatever we are doing.  If we're doing yard work, she's getting dirty.  If we're doing laundry, she's in the pile of clothes.  If we're cleaning house, she wants to have the duster.  

The question is, how do we train her to CONTINUE to want to help us with these chores?  

As any parent, we want to raise our child to be a responsible adult.  Which means we have to help her be a responsible little person, too.  I'm sure the battles are coming, but right now, I'm enjoying our Little Helper.  I love seeing the pride in her eyes as she cleans up after eating a meal.  Or the look of accomplishment she has after she does her part in picking up her toys.  It's some of the most satisfying moments I have as a dad.  Truly love my little munchkin!
