Tyler has had chores like cleaning his room, making his bed, setting the table, unloading the dishwasher, cleaning the door knobs and light switches . . . But a few weeks ago he insisted on doing chores like his sisters do. He has done a great job rotating jobs with them in the kitchen. He has wiped counters, swept and mopped the floors, and done the dishes. Mike and I have helped him some, but he's done a great job and he is so pleased and feels bigger. I have insisted he needs to be older to do the bathroom, but he now has more Saturday jobs too. Today he cleaned the windows dusted. His sisters also like that he is doing more because it gives them a little less to do. All the kids do a great job and are a big help with the jobs they do. Thanks, kids!Families are forever

Great job Tyler! My kids need to hang out there and maybe the excitement for doing it and feeling big will rub off on them. :)
Oh, Heather, I need to get ideas from you. We are in a big job rut around here. You've inspired me to do something different, but what?
