Dot's Spot

Dot is VERY helpful, although she doesn’t really do her own chores yet.   She basically works alongside me every morning as we wash and dry a load of laundry and pick up the bedroom.   She helps restock our fridge with water bottles, and helps Grandma put away dishes.  I allow a little bit of extra time for my morning chores since I know it is very important to let her help and encourage the enjoyment of homemaking in her.

In the evening I have an hour housecleaning time and Grandma helps her pick up her toys.  I’m hoping that seeing her things put away every day will develop an appreciation of orderliness.  It seems to be working so far.
