Wednesday, January 04, 2006 A Helping Hand

Hello from BabyCenter!

Toddlers love to feel like they're making an important contribution to any activity. Your child will want to help you around the house now, and you may find that this makes chores more fun for both of you — or you may find yourself dismayed by how long it takes you to get anything done. Avoid frustration and save your important housecleaning tasks for times when your toddler is asleep or out of the house. When the two of you are together, let him help with small chores like putting his plastic cup and bowl into the dishwasher, throwing wet clothes into the dryer, or wiping up a spill.


DZ is doing exactly these things nowadays. She takes the broom to sweep the house, wipes spill with tissue papers (my tissue box running out of tissues) and then throws the tissues on the floor, comes to the kitchen and taking out things drom the cabinet but she is a sweetie in putting it back where she took them from including the tissues :D. She helps me to carry the dry cloths to the sofa and is exceptionally good in messing the folded cloths. She helps me with the bedsheets too. Once the house is spic and span, she likes to throw her toys and books all over the place. Every night before we go to bed, it is my DH's duty to keep her toys back where it should be and the next day when DZ enters the house, she does it again. I think she doesn't like it when the house is too tidy :)
She knows where to place her shoes once she enters the house, knows where the papers are kept if I asked for them and she knows her room and if we ask her to sleep in the other room, she brings me to her room when she is sleepy. She doesn't like it if I tell her I am going to work. She knows she goes to her nani place in the morning and she goes there without any complain but at night if I jokingly ask her to sleep at nani's place, she refuses :D
DH is teaching her kick boxing for now. Hopefully I can get her to go for classes to widen her interest.
