Rich has been working with the boys at gaining more responsibility helping out around the home. Dante has been an awesome helper for quite some time now. I think it is a relief to him to see that his brothers are tackling some "bigger people" chores, too. They do a great job of encouraging one another to be better helpers. Last night Rich was training Elijah how to clean the kitchen floor after supper. Because our kitchen is pretty small, it gets really messy and sticky each day. This is one household duty that I do make an effort to keep up with. It never dawned on me that one of the children could tackle this chore. Isn't it wonderful that God has wired our husbands to offer such a unique perspective on things even as "trivial" as clean kitchen floors? So, Rich give Elijah a rag and a squirt bottle filled with cleaner and sets him on a "cleaning path." As I walk past the kitchen I make a remark to Elijah about what a super job he is doing and he says, "Mommy, I am cleaning patch by patch (tile to tile) because this is a mighty big job for a 4 year old. " After a full 30 minutes, I am absolutely sure that my kitchen floor has never looked better.
My boys are going to make such wonderful husbands some day.
Love,
Amy
